[news.eclipse.platform.swt] SWT Advanced Graphics slow on linux?

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Are there some performance issues with drawing on Images using SWT 
advanced graphics on linux?  I have a large component sometimes as big 
as 1600x1400 and am trying to double buffer it using a SWT Image.  The 
performance is acceptable on both Windows and Macintosh but on Ubuntu 
Dapper Drake it is terrible.

To create the image I just use new Image(display, width, height).  Is 
there a way to create a more accelerated image?  IE the equivalent of 
the Volatile Image in AWT?

Or is it because Cairo is still young and needs maturity?

Thank you,

Jesse
