I'm not exactly sure what you're really after: changing the app so that the
GUI feels more responsive or changing the GUI so the app feels more
responsive? It sounds like a small semantic difference, but they can be
substantially different approaches.

Swing is generally slow, especially on older hardware. But it can also be
accelerated as on Mac OS X. Your problem can be the general slowness of the
Java UI widgets but, as you suggest, this can often be compensated by
refactoring the app structure and the workflow.

Anyhow, I've done this for a massive project for a very large bank. Not
exactly the scope of this list, but if you narrowed down your question, I
might be of help.

Best,
