I noticed that the Earth example in visad/examples continues to use up processor time even when the cursor is outside both of its windows. On my Sun Ultra 60 I see this by repeatedly doing "ps -ef | grep java" and looking at the accumulated time. Actually, I first noticed this on my real application, which gets slower as I add more displayed data. It eventually gets to the point where it takes 20 seconds to refresh a window with nothing but a JTable in it. I have another Java3D program which doesn't use VisAD, and it doesn't have this behavior. Profiling suggests a lot of time spent in the J3D-Renderer-1 thread in Canvas3D.callDisplayList. My question is, is VisAD continually refreshing the display even when it hasn't changed? If so, why, and how can I make it stop? Or have I misunderstood what's going on? Thanks for any help.
