FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)


FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T4

ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
Windows 2000
Redhat Linux


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It appears that using the Java2D graphics to draw filled
rectangles and lines is very slow, especially over remote
X sessions.

Here are the results of running the attached program:

1.) At the Console of the Sun
delta t for g fillRect = 1
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 35
delta t for drawing g2d line = 9

After resizing:
delta t for g fillRect = 0
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 19
delta t for drawing g2d line = 2

2.) At the Console of a 1.8 GHz PC running Windows 2000 and
Winaxe 6.2 to display the Java application running on the
Sun:

delta t for g fillRect = 1
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 103
delta t for drawing line = 15

delta t for g fillRect = 0
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 103
delta t for drawing line = 12


3.) At the Console of a 1.8 GHz
PC running Windows 2000:

delta t for g fillRect = 0
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 93
delta t for drawing g2d line = 16

After resizing:
delta t for g fillRect = 0
delta t for drawing line = 0
delta t for g2d fill = 47
delta t for drawing g2d line = 0

Our actual code draws much larger rectangles and
thick lines resulting in delays of 400-1000 ms between
screen paints.

We've tried various work arounds such as:

setenv NO_J2D_DGA 1
setenv USE_DGA_PIXMAPS 1

but they had an adverse impact on the non-Java2D graphics
during remote X sessions.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Run the attached program
2.
3.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Draws on the order of 1-10 ms or less.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

    g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

g2d.drawLine(rect2d.x,rect2d.y-10,rect2d.x+lineLength,rect2d.y-10);
    t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("delta t for drawing g2d line = " + (t1-t0));

  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Drawing Test");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.getContentPane().add(new DrawingTest());
    frame.setSize(500,500);
    frame.show();

  }

}

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Don't use Java2D graphics for applications requiring
display on a remote X server. (We mimicked the
transluscent rectangle with closely spaced hatching
using java.awt.Graphics only.)
