JavaFX graphic performance slow on Mac? Clock app

[Jörg Wille]

Hi Tobi,
I have ran your clock app on an old
MacBook Pro (15 Zoll, Late 2008) (2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Mac OS X 10.10.4
JDK  1.8.0_45-b14
using:
java -Dprism.verbose=true -jar javafx-performance-test-1.0.0.jar

which shows that the GPU pipeline is used.
Loading ES2 native library ... prism_es2
succeeded.
Graphics Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
       Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M OpenGL Engine
        Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-10.0.31 310.90.10.05b12

I also measured a cpu load of about 30 to 40%, after 60 to 80% in the first
couple of seconds.
@oracle-staff: Does JavaFX graphic perform better on D3D than on OpenGL in
general? And if so, are there plans to speed up gl pipeline or has D3D
higher priority?

Best regards,
Joerg
