A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We have created several applets which use LwVCL in order to provide a rich user-interface while staying Java-1.1 compatible. LwVCL uses XOR rendering in several places to show selected areas or lightweight window-borders while moving windows.

On the Laptop mentioned above the by default enabled D3D pipeline causes real usability problems, because even the 100x30px large selected XOR areas in trees introduceses a ~250ms latency, whereas moving the windows arround is almost impossible.

I don't know wether its system or hardware specific - I don't have access to windows systems for testing in general. If you're in doubt just fire up the applet mentioned below.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.) http://palme.agosys.com:9080/palme2007/PalmeStart
2.) Acceppt the certificate
3.) Expand the tree a bitSelect icons in the tree on the left - PalmeRoot->Divisions->Test-Abteilung
4.) Double-Click on "Test-Abteilung" -> a new window will open. Try to move it arround.
5.) Click on the mechanical-symbol top-right (in the applet-"desktop") to open the language-choose menu, move the mouse a bit over it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
slowdowns, but at least acceptable speed, not making the application unuseable
ACTUAL -
While list-selection is just not beautiful, the window-moving-performance is really horrible.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Render to a BufferedImage, insetad of a VolatileImage as backbuffer

Bug Description:

XOR painting is unusably slow. Any feature that uses it is inoperable. This is likely related to 6737425 and 6635462. Unfortunately, I did not test this particular feature before update 10 was released. I am surprised to see that it had already been identified and is only a medium priority bug. Unless a better workaround can be suggested, I would request that this be bumped in priority.

We are not using any 3D. We are using it to draw a rectangular selection over a text area. I am not sure any other way to do this (creating highlights will not work for what we want to do). It sounds like my problem is similar to the problem mentioned (as a comment) in 6635462 about JDesktopPanel.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE


Steps to Reproduce (be specific):

Run this app under jdk 1.6.0_06. Perfect.
