I have noticed the same thing as Martyn Russell. I was using Tor's August/September 2002 binary releases of gtk 2.0.6, glib and pango (both runtime and dev) and I just switched to Tor's new 20021201 packages. I find that on win98 (on a pentium III of around 1GHz) my gtk-2.0 app runs appreciably slower. This seems to be true for general gui responsiveness (e.g. time taken for a menu to pop down when you click its title) and particularly for pango-intensive operations -- displaying the content of a moderate-sized file in a gtktextview seems inordinately slow. I kept a backup of the older gtk-2.0 runtime files but stupidly did not keep the old "dev" files. For now, I really need to revert to the September release for acceptable performance. Does anyone have copies of the older gtk, glib and pango "dev" packages I could snag? Thank you. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University, NC
