Efficient way to draw into a java.awt.graphics object

I'm trying to create an animation by dynamically generating frames at each step of the animation. Now as I need to run an algorithm to draw pixel by pixel the new frame and I'm using a BufferedImage that I access through its raster data. However 90% of the time is spent inside java.awt.graphcis.drawImage() that I use to transfer the image i开发者_运维百科nto the content of a JFrame.

Is there a more efficient way to draw pixel by pixel inside a graphics object?

Try to use VolatileImage. Much faster than that is hard to do..
