Make sure you run the application with "strace -f -r -o
outputfile.txt thegtkprogram", the -r option is handy in this case since
it shows the time between syscalls, the -o option is good because it
redirects output to a file instead of slowing down because the terminal
has to parse a lot of text (so you only get hard disk overhead instead
of the terminal program and video drivers doing their slow thing).
Also, maybe it is trying to contact a font server? Try to run the X
Font Server (xfs) (ps fax to see if it is running already) and make sure
you use it in your XOrg/XFree configuration file: in the Files section,
you should have a line that says FontPath "unix/:7100" before all other
FontPath's; if you have it then try the inverse: comment it out and
restart X.
While GTK doesn't have lightspeed, it isn't _that_ slow of course :).
HTH!
