Does IBM use JFC/Swing?, that API is horribly slow, AWT is so much more
faster, maybe Visual Age uses it's own VM? i don't know for sure. I have p75
with 32 megs of ram and apps using AWT run fine. i always thought Swing was
slow because my pc was slow, but i have found it has a really bad rep for
poor speed.

My advice to you is find an AWT tutorial, get TextPad and develop your java
apps without the Visual luxury.(i find it a little too easy)

I guess java is still to slow to have such a complex GUI api like Swing to
be used as a standard API, it's probably slow because it's built off of AWT
itself.

Anyways i'm carrying on.

(PS : so does this mean you like my idea :)
