I may be wrong, but that sounds like a lot of pain for little gain in either
memory footprint or speed.  Also scrolling might be jerky if your doing
insertions to the treemodel everytime the scrollbar is moved.

Since these strings are already in memory, you might think about "wrapping"
your data structure in your own TreeModel (i.e. derive from GtkTreeModel).
Then the treeview just tracks the state of your data structure automatically
(as long as the TreeModel is implemented correctly) and no insertions are
necessary.  There is an example of this in the pygtk distribution, but
perhaps someone else knows of a C example.  GOB may be useful for
implementing your own TreeModel:
