When i need to set a lot of hints that needs to be later unrolled such as changing graphics coordinates and such - i'm creating a new Graphics. When i only need to manipulate a single hint and it can easily be unrolled - i am using the same object. In this case i'm changing just a single hint. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7805
