I'm running a simulation right now that uses 4 swarms and a Value2dDisplay.
The world size is 400 by 400 and the value display is used to represent
elevations.  Before I added in the elevation display, the sim ran at about
two frames per second.  However, it now takes at least 4 seconds to generate
each frame.  As we will be increasing the size of the world and running many
iterations, this speed is unacceptable.  If I am correct, the delay comes from
the repaint time for the value display.  If this is the case, is it possible
to avoid redrawing the entire screen each step?  Thanks!!!
