It is often reported that SWT is *not* faster on anything but Windows. SWT is modeled very much like the Windows GUI system, and that model apparently doesn't work well on other system architectures.

Swing is often perceived slow (but usually isn't), because people simply refuse to adhere to Swing's "single threading, but thou shall not block the EDT" programming model.
