Currently a software renderer (jpct) is used. This means the CPU load is quite high.

JPCT also supports graphic card rendering. However there are some things that will break:

the black outline (currently this is done through swapping textures), ideally we use a shader here
all overlay information (there is quite a bit), not sure how that is best fixed

This would also allow for a proper shadowing option and nice rendering effects.

Maybe time to change what we are using for rendering entirely: http://jogamp.org/
