      In Java Applets the built-in security features force most applets to allow the server
      to do most of the work. In a distributed cliet/server application as much work as
      possible is done with on the client-side CPU to alleviate the burden from the server,
      so that the server runs faster and can log more users, etc.. An example of the common
      Java app is a chat applet, the server is severely burdened. But, in things like new
      networked multiplayer games, (even though the server still has a lot of work to do,)
      the client's PC is doing all that it can.
