Hello Valdis, Thanks again for taking all the time :-) You were right, novell installed by default a gtk-qt-engine package, that was also the reason why I was not able to get rid of "this one and only theme". Now I am using the default theme and its _way_ better, I see about twice as much refreshed when moving gftp's vertical splitter, the horizontal are still very slow. gtk-demo still shows a much higher expose-lag than even konqueror which its much more complex (and skinned) default interface. > Bummer.

Great, SuSe (unlike fedora) stores an compressed vmlinux directly in /boot. 4676 19.7391 libfb.so (no symbols) 3647 15.3953 vmlinux-copy default_idle 2445 10.3212 nvidia_drv.so _nv000805X 2031 8.5736 vmlinux-copy get_page_from_freelist 1817 7.6702 Xorg (no symbols) 1130 4.7701 libcairo.so.2.2.3 (no symbols) 888 3.7486 libgobject-2.0.so.0.800.5 (no symbols) 699 2.9507 libpango-1.0.so.0.1001.1 (no symbols) 659 2.7819 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.10 (no symbols) 638 2.6932 libglib-2.0.so.0.800.5 (no symbols) 482 2.0347 nvidia_drv.so _nv000194X 331 1.3973 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.10 (no symbols) 315 1.3297 libc-2.4.so _int_malloc 309 1.3044 nvidia (no symbols) This profile looks _very_ strange for me. For what is libfb good ... I am quite sure I am using the binary nvidia driver. A lot if time is "wasted" allocating memory and a lot of time goes to the nvidia drivers doing something. Is there a way to get something like call-graphs out of oprofile, maybe this would illustrate which functions call into _nv000805X or libfb. When moving gftps splitters I still see X (with the default theme) eating cpu-time at about 65% and gftp at about 33%. > At least in my case, the top hog appears to be too much work done scaling > theme pixmaps over and over, when they're likely to be invalidated by another > resize before the scaling is completed.... Just because of interrest couldn't cairo be used for scaling with a fast path through XRender? Does XRender supports scaling of images?
