You're right.  My apologies.  The text files that I was opening with
GtkTextView were much bigger than I first thought (they didn't seem to
be *so* big until I opened them with abiword and I saw the number of
pages), and I got the impression that GtkTextView was lagging.

Nope, I'm really not so dishonest.  I can realize when I'm wrong :)
(and I would not take, neither, your previous "I was using a old
AbiWord", as I'm getting yet worse estimations with current cvs).

The note saying that I haven't measured it was there for a good reason
:)

Cheers,
