Note that development versions of GTK+ have much more debugging code
turned on which among other things means many more calls to
g_type_instance_is_a(). So be sure to compare apples to apples. (Not
saying you didn't).
If g_type_instance_is_a() turns out to actually show up on profiles,
it may be worth looking at this four year old patch to cache to type
check information:

Back when I wrote it I got hit rates of 85-95%.
