title: JavaFX slows down backend
body: <p>This is a school project. We built a JavaFX GUI to take inputs for an algorithm. The algorithm runs only 45 minutes in stand-alone mode. However, when calling from JavaFX GUI, the running time is doubled. Any idea what might cause this? Also, the JavaFX GUI consumes about 400 Mb memory, is this normal?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
