Re: [platform-swt-dev] Re: SWT and Photon

Just a suggestion for those who find something slow on SWT, on a specific
platform. What would be great for this kind of situation is to open a PR
with:
- the workflow, use case which 'feels' too slow, from a user perspective
- a performance snapshot taken by a profiler (hprof, JProbe, OptimizeIt...)
during this use case

This may sometimes bring useful information. e.g this may reveal that one
of the SWT OS natives is using more resources or called more than we
reasonably assumed, under this use case - or be the symptom of a bug
'somewhere else' causing this native to be called too many times, or a
recent change having unexpected side effects. There are many parameters in
place (OS, VM, jit, ,memory, SWT, application...) so this might help in
pinpointing the right place.

Chris, are you referring to the J9 Plugin that QNX redistributes as part of
the Voyager browser?  If so, some performance degradation can be explained
because of the synchronization that has to occur between the AWT and SWT
display threads, and not necessarily because of any performance problems
inherent in SWT.

Or SWT running AWT as a browser plugin.
