Hi,

it sounds like you encountered the megabug of jdk1.2: the method
Graphics.drawImage() is very slow. People report it to be 3 times to 100
times slower than in jdk1.1.7. This is also #1 of the bug parade, where
developers can vote for the bug to be fixed next. Sun should work on it
like firemen, but perhaps don't.
The other possibility is that the X server is not well accelerated for
your graphics card. Try to find out at http://www.xfree.org/. The
buzzword to look for is XAA (XFree Acceleration Architecture). Perhaps
there are newer versions of the X servers supporting your card better.
