Personally I have quite good performances with the SWT_AWT bridge used on very big meshes but with JOGL 1.1.1a. When I switched to JOGL 2.0, I found a bug that affects one of my optimizations that allowed me to swap the buffer by myself. The best solution would be a NEWT implementation for SWT so that we could use a NEWT canvas inside an SWT application and do the rendering on the SWT dispatching thread.

I think that a "naive" use of the SWT_AWT bridge can cause some tiny problems of synchronization and then you can noticeably (70%?) decrease the performance.
