list speed

[Sascha Ziemann <szi aibon ping de>]

Hi,

I wrote a program that shows the X11 colors from rgb.txt. My rgb.txt is
750 lines long and so the list contains 750 items. The resize of that
window takes 2 secs on a AMD K6 200. I think that is really slow. Is
that normal for a GTK program? I use the Guile-GTK bindings and I am
wondering weather it is GTK or because of the Guile-GTK layer that makes
it so slow.

You can get the program here:
