GUI Creation Framework Performance

Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize. You also must run in such a way that you will win. 1 Corinthians 9:24 (NLT)

The performance of interactive systems is a significant part of a user's perception of overall system performace. For an application to be successful, a user must possess the ability to interact with the application easily. A graphical user interface (GUI) is one mechanism to allow easy interaction between the user and the application. We are specifically interested in the performance analysis of GUI creation frameworks. Currently, our empirical analyses have focused on the performance of the Thinlet and Swing GUI creation frameworks. In our experiments, we measure the event handling latency and the memory and processor usage patterns of case study applications that are implemented in the selected GUI creation frameworks.
