That is an option that is provided in JFreeChart, and so we'll modify 
our code to *not* use XOR in that case.   But XOR saves us from having 
to allocate that Image for cases where the chart repaint time is 
somewhere in between "real fast" and "real slow".  [It perhaps reflects 
my age that I even care about conserving memory!]

Yeah, I did spot that.

So deprecate it.  I'll miss it, but only a little.
