Why does JTree scrolling too slow?

[Allen]

I make a JTree with own TreeNode, TreeModel, TreeCellRenderer
definitions. And in the JTree
panel, it has a stamp painter which paints a logo image using
AlphaComposite. When I scroll
the tree with vertically, I feel it too slow because the scroll bar
moving not smoothly.

Pls help me to find the reason. Thank you.

Well, painting with alpha-composites can certainly be slow. Any chance
you can do this work once and cache the results? If not, then you might
be stuck.

In any case, before going too much further, you should get some
profiling results. Do you have access to a profiler? Eclipse includes
a free one in the TPTP (Testing and Performance Tools Platform).
