Sounds like you're searching the reason from a wrong place. The core Gtk
functions like gtk_widget_show_all consume practically no time by
themselves (even on embedded device). It's far more likely that you
encounter some hidden "lazy" initialization. For example, on Gtk+2.0 the
theme parsing and realization took place when you first time tried to
show a toplevel.
