In my test app, which is a simple viewer and our OpenFLT Loader
(http://www.fullsail.com/loader )  I get a HORRIBLE performance decrease
using 1.2beta.

For example, for a given 3D model on my NT box, Java3D 1.1.3 returns a
framerate of ~ 50 hz , but on Java3D 1.2Beta it gets ~ 15 hz!!!
No other changes, only the Beta install.

But what is also strangle is when the decrease happens....
If the scene stays still, i.e. no TransformGroup manipulations,  I get
better than 1.1.3 performance - ~ 60 hz.
BUT, when I enabled a simple spin behavior the frame rate plummets to
~15 hz!
In 1.1.3, TransformGroup manipulation had little effect, as expected.

Perhaps, there is some new thread settings I need to make...
I've tried the famed "-Dj3d.sharedctx=false" with no results.

This is serious problem, because I am using 1.2Beta so I can do true
Geometry collision.  However, the instability in performance is forcing
me back to 1.1.3, which does not have the PickTool API!
HELP JAVA3D TEAM!!!!
