JAVA2D faster than OPENGL??
Mar 13th, 2007, 7:13am  
[see below for attached program] I've noticed that when pressing run, Opengl is 10-20% faster than Java2D. but when exported as application, Opengl's speed drops to half, thus slower than Java2D. Is this suppose to happen? Note that I am only testing using 2D images and vectors.

I've been testing this code:
Code:

import processing.opengl.*;

PFont font;

void setup()
{
  font=loadFont("AbadiMT-CondensedExtraBold-15.vlw");

//swap between JAVA2D and OPENGL
size(300,300,OPENGL);
 textFont(font, 12);
frameRate(400);
}
void draw() {
  background(0);
  fill(255);
  
  text (frameRate,100,100);
  fill(0);
  rect(20, 20, 60, 60); 
} 
 
void mousePressed() { 
  link("http://processing.org");


}
