With Swing (JFC)? Swing is the most stupid GUI I've ever seen. It draws all
components to a local buffer and transfers these buffers as bitmap to the
xserver. Most likely this transfer is much slower than a simple "draw a gray
rect at 127,86" and "draw text at 129, 88" as GTK and any other "normal"
X11 does its drawing.
