I read this and was wondering if anyone knows where there would be any
info on this approach to building really fast front end components as
decribed here:

"The Front end application is built with Java and swing. With release
3,
the screen painting technology has been completely replaced. To work
around
screen painting problems and slowness associated with the Java Swing
libraries,
the development team created in memory bitmaps (or "sprites") for all
displayable
text. This substantially increased the overall responsiveness of the
software
and eliminated the usual awkwardness associated with real time Java
applications
running on Windows."

Thanks...
