Hi,

I have an old application I want to convert to use the newest core.jar. Here are some problems I face:

In setup() I create a graphics object grph = new BGraphics(width, height);

First, I cannot use P2D anymore - it tells me: java.lang.RuntimeException: P2D is not yet implemented, use JAVA2D or P3D instead.

So I changed my code to:

size(640, 480, JAVA2D);
grph = new PGraphicsJava2D(width, height, this);

I also had to call grph.loadPixels() in my migrated code - otherwise the pixel[] Array is null which triggers an Exception when I want to manipulate the Array.

Now it does run but probably 10 times slower and using much more CPU power...what is going wrong here? Internally I guess I am using a BufferedImage instead of a toolkit image - is that the reason?

calling loadPixels() happens really fast and isn't called very often - still once I have the pixels[] Array most of the operations should happen on this Array. So I wonder why the performance sucks now that I migrated from BApplet to PApplet?
Is it the drawing with Java2D which takes so much longer then with P2D? I doubt it - it must be the operations on the pixels[] Array or writing back that info to the PGraphicsJava2D object or the BufferedImage it contains? How do I get back the performance?

Cheers,
sb
