The new panel will have a lot better performance than the older AWT variant. It uses far less CPU and doesn't need the frame rate restriction. I am getting 120 FPS with vertical sync enabled.
It also has the benefit of doing anti-aliasing which makes the graphics look smooth.
The NEWT panel is disabled by default, but can be enabled through the visualizer settings and restarting the plugin (close the visualizer window and open it again):
I have seen one issue when the application is forced killed, the application doesn't start properly the next time. In these cases the application needs to be killed again and usually works on the next start. I will investigate this on multiple platforms.
