title: swt versus swing judged from a performance/speed standpoint (yes, this one is a classic :D)
body: <p>Lately i've been  looking to see which of the above contestants is better performance-wise and i've found a rather interesting article that demolishes SWT's performance rating compared to swing's : <a href="http://cosylib.cosylab.com/pub/CSS/DOC-SWT_Vs._Swing_Performance_Comparison.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://cosylib.cosylab.com/pub/CSS/DOC-SWT_Vs._Swing_Performance_Comparison.pdf</a> . It's worth mentioning that the  benchmark was done in 2005 and since then things might have changed (dunno in who's favor tho ) SO:    </p>
  
  <p>1)does anybody know any performance tests  done recently? (2-3 years at most :D)<br>
  2) your personal experience on this matter is invaluable to me so do tell if you noticed differences between swing and swt when it comes to performance</p>
