Container performance

[digicapt - gtk dev <gtk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using GTK+2.0.21 on a Fedora Core 6 and I need to create containers with a
lot of widgets.

If you try following code, you'll see that filling a container with 4000
entries (first button) is about 20 times slower than filling a container with
4000 labels (second button) : 1 seconds for labels on my PC, 20 seconds for
the edits.

Note you have to restart application between tests.

Can somebody tell me if there is a way to get the same performance with
entries ? I would even be glad with a twice slower performance :)

Regards,
Blaise
