It depends on what the Swing app will be doing. If there isn't much user
interaction, you won't see much of a difference. But if there is, you'll
see a huge difference. For instance, I use an editor called "JEdit" on
my linux box. This involves a lot of scrolling and graphical operations.
I find that the IBM JDK is way faster than blackdown's. In fact, on my
machine, I find JEdit useless with blackdown because of the lag
associated with drawing the text panel. With IBM'S I can barely tell
that it is a Java app and not native.
So it depends on what you'll be doing!
