I don't think such an open source project exists, at least not under the
LGPL. A couple of other projects you could check out are gvSIG and the
IGeoDesktop from the deegree Project.

However, I think you are going to find a tough time doing better than
the rendering code in Geotools. Why not contact the Geotools developers
and ask about funding and/or assisting the development of the
improvements you need to their rendering system?

One good thing to remember about open source software communities: You
often get out what you are willing to put in.

Thanks Tyler,

I am looking for Java GIS library, which is capable of working with
various geospatial data 
formats: ESRI shapefiles, KML, GML, PostGis, GeoTiff etc.
I am looking for library that is quite stable and with remarkable
rendering capabilities, panning and zooming.
I want to define somehow what will be seen in particular zoom layer, and
how (styling).
Also major requirement is freedom to place additional level contained
from symbols on top 
of basically static background map. It is required that symbols on top
layer often change 
their style and that should not affect rendering of map too much.
I need to develop desktop application with support for vector maps.
I already look at Geotools library, and i am looking for something
similar but with better rendering performance.

Best regards.
