JDK 8	Other
8u241Fixed	jfx11.0.6Fixed

In 1.8.0 172, operations in JavaFX application that previously took 3 seconds now take 50 seconds. Being unresponsive for this
long makes the application unusable.

This issue is same as JDK-8151756 which was fixed in JDK 9 and JDK 8u. The fix had caused regressions (JDK-8185709, JDK-8183100, JDK-8168951). 
Hence, the original fix was reverted.

This bug is to re-address performance concern raised in JDK-8151756.  See description of JDK-8151756 for details & test case.

This could be backported to 11 if approved by Johan or myself. I will defer to Johan as to whether it should be backported to openjfx 11 for the January release of openjfx 11.0.6. The backport doesn't need to happen right away...some time in early January prior to the release would be fine, if Johan approved it.

Fix of JDK-8151756 had resulted in increased performance, but resulted in functional regressions (reported in JDK-8185709, JDK-8183100, JDK-8168951). Hence, the JDK-8151756 fix was reverted. That's how we have lost out on performance. While analyzing the functional regressions - I observed one thing in common - the functionality breaks if Nodes/Controls are added/modified after the stage (containing scene) is shown.

Refer : JDK-8202022 for a test program showing this performance degradation

We will need a performance regression test to measure the gain.
