If I understand well, what takes time here is the computation of the plot. Now, have you considered building some kind of representation of the plot (say, in terms of shapes) ? In this case, you would have :
* A thread building an abstract representation of the data * the graphical thread whose work would only be to draw the said representation in a JPanel or JComponent. If your plot is really a bitmap, you could consider a thread which would render small parts of it in small bitmap areas which would then be available to the event loop to render ?
