Is there some type of cap as to how much CPU an applet can use? Or will my code run just as fast as a standard java program?

The problem is that applets typically run as Threads in a JVM embedded in the browser. While you can adjust the priority of a Java thread, there is no way to place CPU caps on them. Indeed, I don’t think you can even set CPU caps with the OS’es native threads. In the case of UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems, CPU usage limits and other limits are implemented on a per process basis.
