Hi,

CompositeNodes were added as more light-weight alternative to ControlNodes, but I guess they could replace groups in some situations too. E.g. ones where you'd add locked secondary nodes as decorations to a main node. CompositeNode would not work if you need individual objects from the group to be selectable and movable by users.

In any case, the less nodes you have in the diagram, the faster its user interaction and rendering are. So if your layouts can be implemented either way, try using CompositeNode for better performance.

If you need to display only icons and texts, you could also try TreeViewNode and TableNode classes.

Well, you shouldn't be seeing much difference unless you create thousands of nodes. If that's the case, also try the settings from StressTest example.
