Re: GTK performance on Windows

["Clemens Eisserer" <linuxhippy gmail com>]

I played a bit and found something which could be considered as "slow":

Open the configuration dialog of gimp and move another window on top of it.
This spikes cpu useage to 80-90% on an AMD Athlon XP 2000+, while you
can still see a ~4mm repaint lag.

I wonder wether this could also be caused because of inefficient
double buffering ... time will show.
