JavaFX Performance Tips from Michael Heinrichs

There is a scene in Rocky II in which boxing trainer Mickey tells Rocky something to the effect of: We need speed. Speed's what we need. Greasy, fast speed!

Today I'd like to feature some JavaFX performance tips that Michael Heinrichs documented in his article entitled JavaFX Mobile Applications - Best Practices for Improving Performance.  This article points out some performance-related lessons learned while preparing the JavaFX Mobile release:

• Avoid unnecessary bindings
• Keep the scenegraph as small as possible
• Use simple shapes instead of images
• Use the pre-scaling functionality
• Use background loading
• Use Integer instead of Number
• Use functions of class Sequences

The tips in the article are not only valid for JavaFX Mobile, but for JavaFX on other platforms as well.  Michael does a great job in explaining these tips, as well as using short code examples to make them easy to understand and implement.

As a random bit of trivia, did you know that the Mickey character shown above in the Rocky series was played by the same actor as The Penguin in the Batman television series?  Yup, they were both played by the late [Oliver] Burgess Meredith :-)
