Yes, the tree list few is probably one of the worst performing pieces
of code in GTK+.

When resizing Eclipse's main window with all its complex UI and
editors , the single project/file-tree consumes > 50% of cpu cycles.
Most of the time is actually spent inside of GTK, although someone is
tempted to think "its slow because its written in java".
