what's up with the pipeline???

Java 2D
#1

as mentioned in my few previous posts, the rendering of my game is dog slow.
after i’ve posted the results of -Dsun.java2d.trace=count, i was told that the d3d\opengl pipeline isn’t enabled.
well, here are the results of -Dsun.java2d.trace=count now:

1696 calls to sun.java2d.loops.MaskBlit::MaskBlit(IntArgb, SrcOver, Ushort565Rgb)

449 calls to sun.java2d.loops.MaskBlit::MaskBlit(IntArgb, AnyAlpha, IntArgb)
96884 total calls to 20 different primitives

as you can see by the line :“43 calls to D3DDrawRect” there are d3d calls. i thought this means the pipeline is enabled, isn’t it?

I think some of the fancy D3D stuff happens even though pipeline isn’t enabled. Some operations are accelerated even if no pipeline is used. The pipeline is just a way to get more stuff accelerated, at the possible cost of some compatibility (the OGL pipeline makes a lot of fuss on my laptop, for example). Besides, the D3D pipeline won’t exist till Mustang, while the OGL one which you probably want to use is in Tiger (1.5.0).

#3

Could you please post a bit more details.

Was that with 6.0 or 5.0?
Was that with -Dsun.java2d.d3d=true?
Could you try 6.0 with -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true ?

And, it’d be really nice if you posted the code for your app somewhere.
We keep playing this guess game here.

If this was 5.0 - there were no such thing as d3d pipeline there, but a couple
of primitives (lines, for exampe, I’m not sure about rects) were going through d3d.
