I imagine that can have an effect, too. With the latest patch just committed, many such options can now be explicitly set and tested. Anti-alias results are very interesting - as Roman said, the benchmark difference on Classpath is minimal (~15%), whereas Sun has a huge difference (in the area of 8x longer to anti-alias, tested on ellipses). In fact, with anti-alias turned on, Classpath is significantly faster, up to 50%! I'll do a more detailed comparison next week, but it seems we make some nice gains for some of the options, and fall behind horribly with others. Gives us a starting point for looking at optimization. Francis
