[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: paintChildren and IProgressMonitor updates

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If your painting is so slow (and there are valid cases I'm sure), you should 
be rendering to an Image, and then just painting that Image. Otherwise, 
closing a dialog box or context menu will take too long.

You could then create a job that updates the cached image.
