JDK-8029253 Doesn't seem to be fixed

I've been following this bug for quite some time, seeing that it's been fixed and now back-ported to 8 I thought it would solve the performance issues on my new 5k iMac, but unfortunately it hasn't.

I'm using NetBeans for development, I installed 8u40 (as per the bug report) but performance is still very poor. I'm not an expert so there's the possibility I've still not set everything up correctly. Here's the java versions:

iMac:~ mattpurland$ javac -version

javac 1.8.0_40-ea

iMac:~ mattpurland$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_40-ea"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-ea-b17)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b21, mixed mode)

NetBeans:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)

Java: 1.8.0_40-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.40-b21

Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_40-ea-b17

System: Mac OS X version 10.10.1 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

Any help would be appreciated, I'm hoping it's just a configuration issue...

Cheers,

Matt
