You shouldn't put everything into the display() method. You shouldn't store GL and GL instances into fields, you should get them each time you need them by using GLContext.getCurrent() and GLContext.getCurrentGL(). The tearing is not surprising but it is still choppy. Do you reproduce this problem with other OpenGL applications except GLXGears?
