P4, 2.8GHz, IDE 7200rpm drive, 2.4.26+lowlat kernel. results are similar on a dual PII-400, all SCSI-3 10K drives, same kernel. my point was not to prove or disprove anything, merely to illustrate that these anecdotal recountings of what is or isn't fast don't do anything useful. they simply point out possible problems or benefits of a particular machine+user configuration. whether the "runtime design of GTK" has deep problems isn't covered by such "tests". --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
