Time taken by createscreencapture

[dkas]

Hi,
I am using Robot class's createScreenCapture(rect) method. I have two different machines and the time taken by this method is 3 times of what it takes on another machine.

I have checked and both machines have :
- same java version
-same display adapter, same display driver version
-same system processor
- same OS (Win 7 / 64 bit).
- same java code on both machines

What could be the reason for the difference in performance. If anyone has come across this problem or have any suggestions, would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Are both screens the same resolution and color depth?

NRitH,
Thanks for your response.
Both have the same color depth. 32 bit true color.

However, when I changed the color depth of slow machine to 16 bit, the performance dramatically increased !!

Now, do you see any issues with changing the depth to 16 bit true color ?

Thanks.

That depends on the applications you run. For graphics-intensive apps like games, yes, 16-bit color won't be enough. Other than that, I have no idea.
