There is no dependency on JDK 7. Check out JDK 6u18ea, it's a massive update focused on JavaFX and JavaStore requirements (including tons of backporting from any JDK7 enhancements that can help). > - Poor performance with large scene graphs.

This issue (scene graph scalability) was mostly fixed in 1.2. Most remaining issues are bad performance to update the scene graph, but these are being addressed in 1.3 even without Prism. Prism will bring further improvements and enable new features (e.g. Saffron) but AFAIK mostly in other areas, and 1.3 will have a quite good share of performance optimizations, from animation/graphics to massively enhanced binding (compiled bind). Right now, performance is really not an important issue - I see JavaFX beating the competition in most things, except codecs.
