SWT performance on drawing text (compare with Swing, sample code provided) [message #846728] Mon, 16 April 2012 10:03

All,

A classic question but it really surprise me for the difference in numbers.

Attached simple tests in Swing and SWT, drawing text with random fonts
1000 times.

SWT (gc.advance off)
~80ms for every 1000 text drawn

SWT (gc.advance on)
~200ms for every 1000 text drawn

Swing (with Anti-aliasing hints on)
~30ms for every 1000 text drawn


Config:
Win7
Java 1.6_25
SWT org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.7.1.v3738a.jar



Thanks for you all.
