Eric:
  Thanks for the response!   The long running function involves repeatedly loading data from a disk cache and if necessary the internet based on a user selected list of Stock Ticker Symbols. Then once loaded performing a modest amount of processing, and then display. Most of the latency by far is caused by the Internet server loads.   The previous response mentioned a thread based solution which sounds interesting. Where the long latency read will be moved off to a separate thread which ends in a gtk_widget_queue_draw of its own. What do you think? Thomas Dineen On 2/17/2017 10:41 AM, cecashon aol com wrote:
