Jim, FYI I worked on improving Marlin patch #4 to send you asap a new webrev: it will be simpler with only 2 variants (uncompressed and RLE+blockFlags).
I also fixed a bug in the array cache related to crossings (ptrLen != ptrEnd) in Renderer.endRendering () and wrote a test that makes all cached arrays to resize above their initial capacities. It is a bit faster on my ellipse tests: 285ms and 420ms instead of 300 and 450. > I will evaluate using xcoord instead of runLen in the tuples and see if it saves some add operations. It seems promising so I will try implementing it but probably after sending the new webrev. > Did you look at the tile flags approach ? > Any other advice on the heuristics I experimented ? Will you have some time next week to review that patch ? PS: What is the plan to perform the concrete Marlin integration into jdk9 ? Laurent
