Hi,

I have noticed a big performance hit if I call drawImage(image, x, y,
width, height, null) and the image is a BufferedImage.

I need a bufferedimage because I am creating a gray image off another
Image. So I call :-

BufferedImage bI = new BufferedImage(img.getWidth(null),
img.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);
Graphics2D g2 = bI.createGraphics();
g2.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
g2.dispose();
return (Image)bI;

If I display the original image (not buffered) its fine. Also if I'm
not using TYPE_BYTE_GRAY but RGB its fine !!!!!

Java 1.4.2 by the way

Any idea's

Steve
