In one application I do a lot of text rendering and some line drawing. Much to my surprise, my profiler says that the app spends much more time on line drawing than on the text rendering. OK, I am using ready made GlyphVectors for the text rendering, which should make text rendering quite fast, but I still would not expect the app to spend that much time on line drawing.
One important thing to note is that I am using a non-rectangular shape for clipping when drawing lines (I am using a trapezoid shaped GeneralPath). The rest is simply done by creating a Line2D object, setting a BasicStroke (with CAP_BUTT and JOIN_BEVEL) and calling the draw(Shape s) method on the Graphics object. Any ideas where the time is spent? Is it the non-rectangular clipping shape?
