Dmitry, I have tried enabling Java2D DirectDraw pipeline. Results were a mixed bag - in some cases it seems to help, in other cases not at all.
I have tried your second suggestion, and so far it seems to work! (at least in my configuration). I am not very familiar with Java2D acceleration, but -Was the 'grey rect' fix introduced in Mustang? That would explain why the problem does not manifest on JRE 1.5 -IDEA opens a new top-level frame for each open project. Does the 'grey-rect' fix perhaps (try to) allocate VRAM for each non-foreground frame - and because of that remaining VRAM amount may get quite small, slowing down drawing operations? I have not tested this fully yet. But I will do so, and report the results here. For now: thanks for your quick feedback.
