A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the Rubymine IDE, I experience major performance degregation when compared with running it on Sun Java 6.

I previously filed a bug report to Jetbrains at:
http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/RUBY-5954?projectKey=RUBY
They may be able to help here.

Basically using the UI in Rubymine is much slower with openjdk. Specifically, opening and closing the project panes causes cpu spikes.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install Rubymine.
Open a sizable project. e.g. http://github.com/btakita/rr
Open and close the project pane

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect it to not be slow and not be cpu intensive.
ACTUAL -
It is slow and cpu intensive.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use sun java 6.
