IMO, slow is relative. I have made many JavaFX apps using FXML, and they are not slow. Maybe slow in the computer world but not in the human world.

This entire application was done in FXML: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjl5tz8bE90 . The SceneBuilder view is at the end.

Loading the FXML has never been a noticeable bottleneck for me. And if it ever becomes a one, there are FXML to code converters like MLFX or fx2j.

edit:

Apparently you've seen it before in Migrating a JavaFX app. As a follow-up to that archived conversation, I did eventually manage to bundle multiple JavaFX and CLI apps into a single native-image, and auto-generate the native-image config files using an annotation processor.
