java applications SLOW in Windows XP guest in VMware Workstation

 I just found by reading this why java applications were so SLOW in my virtual machines. Something changed in an XP patch so that Java >1.5 have trouble when using 3d acceleration for 2d graphics.
Setting the environment variable

   J2D_D3D=false

is a workaround for the issue.
