Unfortunately, Java GUIs (both Swing and SWT) still feel really
slooooow on Mac OS X. Applications such as Poseidon or Eclipse always
seem to run orders of magnitudes worse on OS X than they do on
Windows. I can't say for sure that it is impossible to make a complex
Java GUI "snappy" on OS X, but it certainly cannot be easy, since so
many people seem to be unable accomplish it.
