I don't understand. What do you mean by "used indirectly?"

OrthoCoordsys simply stores the coordinates of all coord systems in 
arrays. Before, OrthoCoorder stored them in CS objects, which made for a 
greater garbage collector load. But AFAIK, all there is now could be 
implemented through the CS object approach.

What is the problem? Doesn't the GL stuff have a way to store 
coordinates already?

I don't see how something that makes storage in the AWT vob system 
faster could influence the speed of OpenGL at all, much less make it slower.
