https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041129 has been fixed in JDK recently, which should probably improve the performance (see RT-30035 for a similar bug). This issue needs to be re-tested and likely closed as Not an Issue (because really, it's a bug in JDK rather than FX). Tobi and/or Anton: could you give it a shot with the latest 8u20 ea build on Mac ( http://jdk8.java.net/download.html ) ?

I'm decreasing the priority as a workaround exists.

I've checked that on Windows/Mac/Linux. The text performance is poor only on Mac. To work it around, the volatile double buffering should be switched off: -Dswing.volatileImageBufferEnabled=false (See also: RT-30035).
