I just read a &lt;a href=&#034;http://weblogs.java.net/blog/joshy/archive/2008/04/at_the_speed_of.html&#034;&gt;claim&lt;/a&gt; that JavaFX benchmarked at 186 fps.  I thought that was pretty impressive.  I had to check it out.  I followed the link to the BubbleMark site and tried the JavaFX jnlp on both JDK1.6.0_05 and JDK1.6.0_10 preview release.  Both performed miserably.  9 FPS!!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My machine&#039;s specs:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu 7.10 - Gnome Desktop (Compiz turned off)
&lt;li&gt;Duel Core 2.1GHz
&lt;li&gt;4GB RAM
&lt;li&gt;NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT (256MB)
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
All this proves really is that benchmarks mean squat.&lt;/p&gt;
