Is OpenGl rendering faster than the normal Java Canvas drawing? I'm working on a lil 2d game and am considering trying to use OpenGL if its faster.. I won't use any 3d functionality except the depth buffer maybe. So if all I do is draw bitmaps, animated sprites and such things without any shading, should I consider trying GL for performance reasons? Does anyone have any experience with that?

The easiest way would be to put to display the frames per second or seconds per frame. I'm pretty sure one of the Gl samples displays a counter like that.
