Yes, I think that's the best advice for now.
Really, though, a good RFE would be to provide a way to adapt to the
refresh rate of the monitor when vsync is being used. That's really the
point of doing vsync in the first place.

Hi Glavo,
I believe setting the javafx.animation.pulse is indeed the best way to
increase the render frequency (or to minimize the time between 2
pulses). It is independent of the hardware/pipeline being used.
Of course, you may see a higher load in the JavaFX Application Thread
and in the Quantum Renderer, but I guess you're aware of that -- but
even at 10 fps those threads can be under pressure (same for the GPU
cache).

I found that setting `javafx.animation.pulse` to a higher value
worked for me.
I considered setting `javafx.animation.pulse` to 120 for all users
to get smooth animation.
Is this the most recommended approach at this time?

Hi,
Recently I was investigating how to improve the user
experience of our JavaFX applications.
I noticed that JavaFX applications seem to be limited to 60fps
by default,
which makes JavaFX applications appear to animate less
smoothly than many other applications
when users are using high refresh rate monitors.
In particular, we used a self-drawn title bar, which caused
users to drag our app more slowly than dragging other
applications.
I learned that there is an undocumented property
`javafx.animation.fullspeed`
and that setting it to true would significantly improve the
user experience of our application.
While it works fine on my computer, it seems to have a lot of
potential problems,
such as conflicts with vsync, may have significantly higher
CPU/GPU utilization, and has been less tested,
so I dare not push it to users.
There is also a property `javafx.animation.framerate` which
seems to be safer, but it didn't work for me.
So, what is the best way to get a high frame rate for a JavaFX
application?
Can we get more than 60fps in a JavaFX application with vsync
enabled?
Is it possible to make JavaFX applications adapt to the
monitor's refresh rate without us setting it to a fixed value?
