JavaFX graphics performance

[Michael Paus]

Hi

In
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8178804
"Excessive memory consumption in TriangleMesh/MeshView"
you wrote:
There is a missing divide (by VERTEX_SIZE_VB) when computing the growth 
of vertexBuffer array as needed. Hence it has the potential of creating 
a vertexBuffer and some cached data to 9 times as big as designed. 
However this bug only affect Mesh with VertexFormat.POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD.

This somehow contradicts your last comment in
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8089605
"[3D] TriangleMesh/MeshView high memory/CPU usage"
Application should use the new user-defined normals format for dynamic 
mesh to avoid high memory and CPU usage.

I hope the bug fix will also be backported to Java 8.
