Tweaking timing like that is a bit of a black art. Other people have complained about slowness in the past, but no one has ever come up with solid numbers showing that GTK+ is actually inefficient. Mostly it seems a matter of perception, but you're welcome to prove me wrong. One person recounted a story where people thought his app was slow because the UI blocked on a small operation. When he moved it to a separate thread people thought it ran faster. When he added a progress bar, it was faster yet. When he made the progess bar run to 100% multiple times, people exclaimed "look at that thing fly"! I like the story. ;) Cheers, Ryan _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
