One should specify which windows version is using.
Under Win9x/Me, the uniscribe dll (used for text rendering) is very slow
(at least with GTK+), so unless you need complex text rendering, you can
simply add this to your autoexec.bat:

SET PANGO_WIN32_NO_UNISCRIBE=a

or, if you prefer, add this to your program right before calling gtk_init:

putenv("PANGO_WIN32_NO_UNISCRIBE=a");
