Performance Tips n' Tricks wiki page

[Richard Bair]

Thanks Pedro, will put these on the wiki. The layout vs. bind is an interesting question and one that isn't entirely clear. I use some of both depending, really, on what is most natural for the case I'm facing rather than on a strict performance basis. Because Java doesn't have binding in the language, it is harder to use it so excessively that it causes a problem like it could in FX Script.
