One small correction -- this isn't what we call the rubber stamp (which is what Swing did). The rubber stamp approach is to use a *single* cell and change its state and reuse it for rendering everything (which implies immediate mode rendering). In FX we have a different unique cell for each cell on the screen and then recycle them as necessary.
