I don't know MapWindow, so if you perceive a tiled rendering on it I might be 
just wrong, but this sounds to me like just a matter of "preceived 
performance" rather than effective performance, and its certainly something 
we could improve in uDig. 
what I mean is that, from my experience, a panning interaction benefits from 
not presenting any flickering on the image drawn while rebuilding the whole 
map image in the background. Instead, uDig displays a blank image when you 
release the moue on a panning action, and this leads to a "feeling" of 
slowness, while when this doesn't happens, the user gets the "feeling" of 
greater responsivenes.

But as said, I could just be wrong.
