Scene Builder performance regression between 1.1 and 2.0

[Felix Bembrick]

Well I have discovered something that I really don't understand.

It turns out that when I create *new* FXML files with SB 2.0 I do not see
any performance issues.  In fact, the issues I was experiencing only
occurred when I opened one particular existing FXML I have been working on.
 Further, after fiddling with it for hours, removing nodes and replacing
them, I noticed that when I removed a particular Text node from the scene
then performance was excellent again.  However, when I then added another
Text node with seemingly identical properties I was unable to reproduce the
original problem.

Am I just delirious or is there some rhyme and reason behind these
observations?

Felix
