As illustrated with a tiny applet with full source code at:
http://segal.org/java/ReDisplay/
the Sun JVM can exhibit terrible delays in re-displaying components. This
occurs when a component has been shown already and is subsequently
re-displayed.
I first saw the problem in some Java 1.3.x versions on Windows 98, but it is
gone on 1.4.x on Windows 98. However it is present on 1.4.2_02 on Windows
XP.
This is such a common situation that others must have seen this. Is this a
known bug? Are there simple workarounds?
The only workaround I've found is to make new objects each time so there is
never any re-display, but this would be a very difficult workaround to
implement in existing code.
