Just a quick note.  Yeah, it might not be fast enough if it has to search
the entire schematic.  

The tiling mechanism inside libgeda was designed just for this purpose.  
With the tiling mechanism you can look only for objects that either in 
the current tile (based on the mouse position) or nearby tiles.  Does this
functionality (original patch) use the tile mechanism?  

Either way, I'll try your changes on my pokey machine on something large
and see what happens. :)
