I am coding a multiplatform Doom level editor with
gtkmm. It uses a drawingarea widget and draws the
level graphics line by line. I have found that this
kind of drawing is a lot slower on Windows than Linux.

This most likely isn't gtkmm's fault, though. I seem
to remember someone writing to gtk-win32 developer's
list with a similar problem a while ago. The slowdown
had something to do with the drawing primitives being
very different on X and Windows.
