Just a coincidence, presumably. Windows 98 is not a "real" operating
system. It doesn't support multiple processors (even hyperthreading).

It most probably is your program that has problems. Are you aware that
multi-threaded use of GDK is not even supposed to work on Windows?
That is not going to be fixed soon.

If you really think you have found a bug in GTK+, please open a bug
report on bugzilla.gnome.org, and attach a *complete* but *minimal*
sample program that exhibits the bug.

Your description is so vague that it's hard to say... What kind of
drawing are you talking about? Individual pixels? Thin (width 0 or 1)
lines? Thick lines? Rectangles? Polygons? Filled or not? What
raster-op function? Arcs? Pixmaps? Etc...
