Updating a CList in gtk+ 1.2.4

[Felipe Paulo Guazzi Bergo <guazzibe dcc unicamp br>]

Hello,

I have an application that updates once a second a CList widget with 
~10 (fixed) columns and ~50 (varying) rows, and then sorts it.

With gtk+ 1.2.1 I did this way (pseudo-code, please don't mind number of
arguments):

gtk_clist_freeze
<add or remove rows until the new size is attained>
for(i=0;i<rows;i++)
 for(j=0;j<columns;j++)
   <update each cell> // every cell is text
<sort> // via clist's sorting function
gtk_clist_thaw

When I compiled my app with 1.2.4 this became sloooooow. As a quick-fix
I renamed 1.2.1's clist to dlist with a sed script and included it in my
tarball, but

What is the correct way of updating such a list ?
