Comment 2 for bug 287717

Using acceleration should be faster. I can't actually compare (possibly due to bug #250931 )

When I start JOSM with "java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -jar ~/osm/josm-latest.jar"
I get the error: "Could not enable OpenGL pipeline for default config on screen 0".

I can confirm that the video in JOSM does get very slow at times - with a whole city downloaded it can take 5 seconds to register each mouse click which is unusable.
