large performance difference between gtktextview and gtksourceview

[Olivier Sessink <oliviersessink gmail com>]

Hi all,

loading 1Mb of UTF-8 encoded text into a gtk text view seems to take
much more time than loading the same buffer into gtksourceview. Since
gtksourceview has all of the functionality of gtktextview and more,
where is this difference coming from? And does this mean that we can
improve the performance of gtktextview?

regards,
