And then try again when 2.1.0 is out which will be quite soon.  There 
were some issues with gerbv-2.0.x crashing under windows.  That seems to 
have been fixed.  As far as speed I'm hopeful the build for 2.1.0 will 
be much better.  It will be using a much newer version of cairo which 
hopefully helps.  I expect that the windows binary will follow a day or 
two after the source release.
