Reuben,

The code I'm using to test is short (about 250 lines). I'm using the system
to single step program execution, so I will do many steps. The problem at 
the moment is when loading the program, and scrolling to the start of
the program (the 'reset' position), but I see that the slowing down delay
is quite visible even when scrolling just one line with the arrow keys.

I have some Gtk-2 programs where the delay is not apparent. Maybe this
is configurable?
