Performance Issues when Scale isn't 1.0

[Brent Christian]

Hi, Scott

I'm not aware of any performance issues specific to scaling.

You say the problem happens when you zoom in *or* out, so I assume it's 
not simply a matter of increased complexity in the visible portion of 
the graph.

I would be interested to know if performance is different with the UML 
diagram placed in a Stage instead of a JFXPanel.

I'm guessing a new JIRA will need to be filed.

Thanks,
-Brent

I can grab and drag those rectangles to layout the document, which can be rather large.  I can also drag new connections between the boxes.  This all works smoothly, until I try to "zoom" in or out on the diagram.

It's at least 5 times slower I figure.  The user experience is horrible as I get less than 5 fps at times vs. 30+ with the scale set to 1.0
