to me it seems not very slow. but i must say, that i use it in muli only
for quit small text chunks, aprox 1k. but at this size it is possible to
switch the page more then 10 times / second on a PII 350, 198 megs of
ram(not tested with a stopwatch :).

  Unless... I have something in my code that's messing with

if you insert your text linewise, that can be realy time consumptiv.

beside of this, is it possible that you not only changed to gtkextext, but
also to pixmap themes? or in other words try it with the default theme.
pixmap themes are absolut time suckin pigs

and at least, if you are short of memory, it can give a problem with
gtkextext, cause it leaks memory. not the most, but if you change the
contents very often...

if that all not helps, can you send a snippet of code, that shows the
behaviour? (direct, not over the list, if its bigger)
