You can do pretty well without any additional hardware acceleration, 
just with the speed of Swing.  See my Asteroids game at 
http://rabbitbrush.frazmtn.com/ for an example.  It's not at the level 
of Angry Birds but I think you could write a game similar to Angry Birds 
in Swing without any trouble.
