Poor graphic performance on java apps

The first one is just bullcrap if you think anything do with
kernel/user space rendering or network transparency is in any way to
blame for Java being shit on Linux/X, you need to adjust your
substance intake...  the second one I'll accept as it probably hasn't
been that well optimised.. but what I don't understand is Sun use X on
Solaris, is Java rendering on Solaris a complete bag of crap as well?
