JavaFX XYChart with CategoryAxis Performance Issue

[Tai Hu]

Jonathan,
      That is my bad. Here is a simple self-contained test. I could plot 10000 in 40 seconds (Our goal is to bring down to 5 seconds) on my MacBook Pro (i5 CPU). If I increased number to 100K (that will be the upper limit for our application), chart did not render in 6 minutes and I have to kill the program. By the way, I am using JDK 8u102.

Thanks,

Tai

However, if one of axis is a CategoryAxis, then performance is horrible. I think the problem is CategoryAxis creates a tick for each one of 10000+ strings. I already tried to set tick visibility to false, which help a bit, but still too slow. Is there anyway to improve this?
