title: Faster: SWT or Java2D?
body: <p>Which has faster graphics performance: SWT or Java2D?</p>
  
  <p>On MacOSX, Does SWT's graphics go through Quartz Extreme which in turn is rendered using hardware-accelerated OpenGL?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not referring to the native UI controls but asking about custom 2D graphics rendering like text, lines, curves and polygons.</p>
