JavaFX graphic performance slow on Mac? Clock app

[Tobias Bley]

Hi,

currently our experiences with JavaFX on Mac are very disappointing. While JavaFX on Windows runs very good with low cpu usage, JavaFX on Mac via  Java 8 doesn’t perform well. I created a little clock app which uses between 25% and 80% cpu usage. But what’s the reason for? I though JavaFX rendering pipeline works on the graphic device? So why there is such a traffic on the CPU?

 


Best regards,
Tobi
