Try testgtk, and press the "scrolled windows" button. This makes a window with
400 buttons (in about 0.5 secs on my Sun). Is this slow on your machine?  

If it is slow ... you need a faster machine, or another way of showing the
coloured squares. Maybe with gdk_draw_rectangle() etc. If testgtk is fast, you
may be doing something odd in your code.  Look at testgtk.c and see how it
does it.
