Multiple JFXPanel?

[Anton V. Tarasov]

Hi Pedro,

I've made the following experiment. I've created two simple test cases: one is pure fx stage showing 
WebView which animated some guimark2 benchmarks, another one is the same WebView wrapped with 
JFXPanel put in JFrame.

I ran each test case with a single, two or four toplevels (Stages or JFrames, appropriately) and 
measured performance difference. I noticed that for the swing test case, adding more toplevels 
decreased performance with the same proportion like the fx test case did (despite the fact that fx 
performed relatively faster, of course). For instance, for the Vector Charting Test the ratio was 
directly proportional to the number of toplevels, that is doubling the toplevels decreased 
performance by two times equally for both fx and swing cases.

This more or less proves the fact that adding another embedded scene into your app doesn't bring 
anything except another scene.

Thanks,
Anton.
