That's an interesting problem. The Swing approach of concatenating refresh
events might be getting in the way of what you're trying to accomplish, not
mentioning that Swing is not thread-safe, meaning you have to resort to
SwingUtilities.invokeLater() and whatnot.

It's unfortunate that this list is not conducive to constructive debate.

Is source code available for your app? How big is it?
