I attach a simple Java test program used to test the speed of
graphics. The program uses awt1.1 features only, ie, no java2D
or swing.
Running the program on jdk1.1.7 is very fast, no problem there.
running the *same* program on jdk1.2 slows down by a factor of
about 10.
I have tried to compile it with jdk1.2, with -O flag on, no
effect. The same slowdown was valid on an WindowsNT platform,
as well as on Solaris.

import java.awt.image.*;

//repeatedly draw a square to a canvas
class Test2 extends Frame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test2 f = new Test2();
f.resize (400, 400);
f.show();
f.draw();
System.exit(1);
}
public void draw() {
int k;
x[0] = 30;
x[1] = 60;
x[2] = 60;

as I wrote You on 24.03.99, there is a perfomrance bug with
JDK 1.2, even with the JIT-update 3.10.100 !!!
We isolated it and found that it occurs, when drawing to an Image
(via a Graphics-Object for offscreen-double-buffering).
To grpOffScreen.fillRect( x, y, SIZEX, SIZEY) 1'000'000-times
JDK 1.2 2800 ms
JDK 1.1.6 640 ms
MS JVM 5.00.3165 1700 ms
This is very bad, because some JDK 1.1 software uses double-buffering
for optimizing AWT-drawing !!!
