??????????????????

I am asking about _features_ and _capabilities_.

For example, today I wouldn't even consider gtk+ because Qt comes with Qt-script and QML which are enough "Perlish" (actually, it's close to JavaScript, which is enough "Perlish" - closures, anonymity, etc).

I.e. had I started today, I would have written my application in Qt + Qt-script + QML.

But let's get back to basics.

1) is gtk+ faster than Qt ?
2) does gtk+ consume less memory than Qt ?
3) do gtk+ widgets better preserve their visual quality with changing screen resolution ?

Thanks,
  Sergei.
