[Bug swing/27987] New: TODO: Replace Graphics.drawString with TextLayout.draw()

[sven at physto dot se]

Wherever possible, we should work now to replace the occurences of drawString()
in Swing with TextLayout.draw(). 

Since drawString works by using TextLayout, it will save re-layouting the text
every time a string is drawn. The speed increase is quite significant. 

Doing a benchmark of drawing a string 1000 times on JamVM, I get 11 seconds vs
1.7 seconds for drawString versus TextLayout.draw().
