performance

[Benjamin Gudehus]

Hi Johan,

>I am looking for a "standard" way to test "performance" of JavaFX on different platforms
I'm also looking for this. We have a small testing suite for
cartographic map render performance (i.e. a lot of shapes, caching,
transformation handling). Well, this is no "standard" suite. I guess
the Oracle performance team must have a testing suite.

>Also, is there a quantitative standard for measuring the quality of how a JavaFX implementation responds to input events?
I have no solution for event response time, but my current approach
for javafx/render thread "usage" (i.e. how long does it take to
render? which percentage of time is JavaFX idling or rendering?) is to
add a listener to com.sun.javafx.logging.PulseLogger (the logger that
normally outputs to standard output if -Djavafx.pulseLogger=true) and
record calls to pulseStart(), pulseEnd(), renderStart() and
renderEnd() as timestamp ranges. com.sun.javafx.logging.Logger also
has newInput() which could be helpful for event response times.

PulseLogger and PerformanceTracker are internally a little mess, but
they deliver suitable information. Luckily it is possible to replace
the private fields with custom logger implementations.
