JavaFX graphics performance and suitability for advanced animations

[Daniel Zwolenski]

Yes, this one is beautiful on my system. Nice!

I tried scaling down to 0 instead of 1, there is a slight jitter and
pixelation at the tiny ranges.

I also tried swapping in a Label instead Text just to see. It is also very
pretty at the larger sizes and possibly the pixelation and jitter is
slightly more pronounced (hard to say as it's not by much).

Generally though, hitting a very high level of niceness.
