JavaFX graphics performance

[Kevin Rushforth]

We are planning some performance improvements in JDK 10, mostly in the 
areas of CSS and layout. If you have specific concerns in other areas we 
could look into them. Having a specific test case that shows a 
performance problem would be a good start.
