Oops, sorry. I thought that Cheese used the pixmap theme since it has a
nice cheese background pixmap :) Well, that explains why it's so fast
then.

When I run pixmap themes here (P166) I can see everything getting
redrawn lots of times, causing flickering. On my faster computer with
much faster  graphics and a PII 233, the flickering doesn't show but
it's really really slow. To the point of being muuuch slower than
Win95/98. 

I dont know where to start looking but it certainly seems like something
is wrong... right?
