I just tried SwingSet2.jar (jdk1.3\demo\jfc\SwingSet2\) and it is horrible
slow, too. It is much faster on a SUN and much faster on a laptop. And yes,
we do have the yellow color problem as well. Yesterday I tried JBuilder 3.5
and you simply cannot use it because it freezes all the time whereas Visual
Age for Java 3.0 runs fine on our SGI.
Have you tried changing some of the SGI display options?
Marco.
