I posted this message first on Java Discuss and was asked to file a Java
bug. It was also suggested I post it here for discussion.
I've recently started using Java 11 and noticed that drawPolyline is
much slower on my PC than it was on Java 8.
Example, simplified code:
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D graphics = (Graphics2D) g;
long starttime = System.nanoTime();
graphics.drawPolyline(xs, ys, xs.length);
long endtime = System.nanoTime();
Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.INFO,
"Paint Time: {0}s", (double)(endtime-starttime) / 1.0e9);
}
where xs[] and ys[] are large (65536 points) integer arrays. On Java 8 I
get a paint time of 0.025s and on Java 11 it is 25s, i.e. factor of 1000.
This may be related to JEP263 (HiDPI)
I've got a recent Core i7 processor with Intel graphics, running Windows 10.
With VisualVM I can see that all the time goes in drawPolyline, I can't get
any more detail than that.
I have done some experimentation with RenderingHints but nothing makes the
JDK11 go as fast as JDK8.
Is there anything else I can try to either improve matters or to provide a
clearer idea of why there is such a difference?
I have a self-contained NetBeans project if anyone wants to try to see they
can reproduce this.
