#52 Napkin LAF seams very slow in Linux...

[Anonymous]

When I use this Look And Feel under Linux in KDE or GNOME, it seams very slow. I am guessing this is a Linux Java VM performance issue, but thought I would add it here just in case.

It may be that, or it may be your machine. This can be very intensive for a GUI, as it individually generates many components, so there are many drawn irregular shapes. For example, in an Open dialog box, each icon in the file selection window is individually generated, so they are each drawn out. So if your machine is older, it might be noticeable.

Or maybe it's a combination of the two.

in my personal experience Swing is generally slower in Linux than in Windows
