How do you get a question of "why" from my request for information about 
Swing's overhead?  I didn't ask you why you chose to do what you're doing, nor 
did I ask you to justify your decision, nor did I offer any opinion about the 
relative superiority of either widget set.  I asked for technical information 
about Swing and AWT.

To answer your direct question, it doesn't matter to my question why you are 
doing what you're doing.  I agree that you do not need to justify the purpose 
of your activities; in fact, I am not actually interested in that purpose nor 
its justification.

I offer thanks to Roedy for the information I requested.
