With all the positive comments I rushed through a new copy of the applet
which is live now.

It

* doesn't use 100% CPU all the time
* makes the nodes and lines thicker
* makes it so you don't have to be directly on a node to select/kill it.

You might need to restart your browser / kill the cache to see the new
applet.

There might have been a couple of bugs introduced.
