I use yhe class PixelGrabber and when i invoke
it's method grabPixels ( without parameters ),
i saw for each invocation that its duration is
minimum 300 Msec. .
When i debugged the java src code of grabPixels
I have noticed that this duration occured only
for the invocation of startProduction from the
grabPixels method .
I don't know whether it is a known bug ,and
since ImageProducer (which owns startProduction)
is an interface and it's content canno't be seen
i canno't point at the main reason for this
duration which for my opinion it is exaggerated .
I would like to know what cause this duration
(just to decide about a "workaround"),do you
think this duration is normal and if it is normal
please let me know if maybe i used nonpropertly
this awt.image package .
I have provided here an example of how i used
the PixelGrabber class .

        Image screenImage;
        int sourceImage[];

        PixelGrabber P = new PixelGrabber (screenImage,0,0,movieInfo.movieW,movieInfo.movieH,sourceImage,0,movieInfo.movieW);
            try
            {
                P.grabPixels();
            }
            catch (InterruptedException E){
                System.out.println ("ERROR ON ");
            }


Thanks
