correct way to move a node by dragging in javafx 2?

Here is some code I use to allow a Label to be dragged around in a Pane.
I don’t notice any significant lag behind the mouse trail with it.

// allow the label to be dragged around.
final Delta dragDelta = new Delta();
label.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
  @Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
    // record a delta distance for the drag and drop operation.
    dragDelta.x = label.getLayoutX() - mouseEvent.getSceneX();
    dragDelta.y = label.getLayoutY() - mouseEvent.getSceneY();
    label.setCursor(Cursor.MOVE);
  }
});
label.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
  @Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
    label.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
  }
});
label.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
  @Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
    label.setLayoutX(mouseEvent.getSceneX() + dragDelta.x);
    label.setLayoutY(mouseEvent.getSceneY() + dragDelta.y);
  }
});
label.setOnMouseEntered(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
  @Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
    label.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
  }
});

. . .

// records relative x and y co-ordinates.
class Delta { double x, y; }

Here is a small complete example app using the above code.

Update
The above example, will still lag the object being dragged behind the cursor when the objects being dragged are small.

An alternate approach is to use an ImageCursor comprising of a MousePointer superimposed over the an image representation of the node being dragged, then hide and show the actual node at the start and completion of the drag. This means that the node drag rendering will not lag the cursor (as the image representation of the node is now the cursor). However this approach does have drawbacks => there are restrictions on the size and format of ImageCursors, plus you need to convert your Node to an Image to place it in an ImageCursor, for which you may need advanced Node => Image conversion operations only to available in JavaFX 2.2+.
