Also, to repeat something from earlier in this thread, it sounds as if
there might be an undesirable interaction between the nvidia
accelerated driver and gtk's double buffering strategy. You could also
try another driver and see how gtk performance is affected.

(also, for what it's worth, gtk feels about the same speed as qt on my
laptop ... 1.8 GHz PM, ATI graphics)
