Anyway, whether or not their particular system can handle GTK, people should
look beyond speed. It's possible the temporary speed problem will be solved
by improvements in hardware with time. The bigger problem is the design of
I don't like this argument. It is wasteful and,
I have to speak up in agreement here.
let's face it, most desktop computers today are more powerful than the world's fastest supercomputers only 10 years ago.
Umm no, not quite, sorry. :) I'll give you 20 years, but not 10.
These supercomputers were and still are often used for rendering, in real-time, 3D displays with full color and often at resolutions that makes one just go Wow (of course, this is often at the end of spending months of computing time for the scientific data that is used to render the images). Yet, GTK is abhorrently slow at event handling and user responsiveness. Why?
