FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows [Sürüm 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
multiple setEnable() method calls cause poor GUI performance and visibly slowness. But Actual problem caused by updateCursorImmediately() method call. If the component count is huge at a container In Java 1.6.0_45 method call result in under 1 second but in Java 1.8.0_25 It result in nearly 6 second. Users are unsatistied by this situation. And We have couldn't migrate from 1.6 to 1.8.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
You can use the sample code the reproduce the performance problem

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected Result is that process of Disabling 1000 JButton is under 1 second.
Actual Result is that It's lasting 6 second.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
There is no error message.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
