How do you compute an animation delay
at runtime? I'm creating a bunch of BufferedImages in memory and need to display them as quickly as possible on a JComponent. I need to run this animation program on several different platforms with varying display performance ability. A hard coded delay fails with these requirements.

Thanks.

You use the sleep method of java.lang.Thread -

public static void sleep(long millis,
                         int nanos)

which specifies delay in absolute elapsed time.
