[JAVA3D] Performance Issues

[Kurien Joseph]

Dear Gurus,       I want to know how one can find the performance of the Java3D application developed. My Objective are as follows   1.Compare the Performance after using a Single geometry and appearance instance and create multiple Shape3D instances with that of multiple instances of Shape3D objects(i.e clone the shape3d object) 2. Peformance due to usage of compile. 3. Performance of using LOD   I have seen a performance monitor in the Java2D demo applet which come along with JDK1.2. How is this performance calculated ? What is the criteria under which I should calculate Performance for a Java3D application.   Thanks a Lot   Regards Kurien
