Is gtk+ 3.*.* now faster than the latest gtk+-2.*.* ?

If not, since even gtk+-2.*.* is slower than Qt, gtk+ loses.

Here is another thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1887070/what-should-i-choose-gtk-or-qt .

I really want to hear from gtk+ "gods" - I've asked the question about gtk+ over Qt advantages, but have never seen an answer.
