I'have tried VDK 2 month ago and I had this speed problem too, I think it's
not a good idea to use VDK with a program witch is speed critical, because VDK
is a C++ library that uses GTK+ functions. VDK increase the visibility of your
source but for my hown It's better to code directly in C++ using GTK+
functions. But if you take care of the portability of your code you should use
a C compiler.
