JavaFX Spinner change is slow with click and hold of mouse button

Question

The speed of Spinner update is slow when I click and hold the up/down arrow buttons. Is there a way to increase the change speed?

When I click, click, click with the mouse, the spinner values change as fast as I click. It also changes fast if I use the up/down arrows on the keyboard for each key press or if I hold down the up/down arrow keys. I want the values to change that fast when I click and hold on the arrow buttons.

Anyone know a way to do that?

I modified the answer of fabian a little bit to decrease the speed of the spinner while holding mouse down:

private int currentFrame = 0;
private int previousFrame = 0;        

@Override
public void handle(long now)
{
    if (now - startTimestamp >= initialDelay)
        {
        // Single or holded mouse click
        if (currentFrame == previousFrame || currentFrame % 10 == 0)
        {
            if (increment)
            {
                spinner.increment();
            }
            else
            {
                spinner.decrement();
            }
        }
    }

    ++currentFrame;
}

And after stopping the timer we adjust previousFrame again:

public void stop()
{
    previousFrame = currentFrame;

    [...]
}
