If you want multithreading in the GUI it will be very primitive with GTK. You have to lock the complete GTK system, this means you will never ever get a speed increase. On my CPU the drawing can never be more then 12,5% CPU Load - thats what i call bad. You can move away from Pango and only use Cairo and the toy text API of cairo which seems to be multithread safe. Or wait a half year, somebody just started working on MT-safe Pango but it takes time until tested, proofed to work and the patch is included the main code line. -- Best regards, Lothar mailto:llothar@xxxxxx _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
