How dare you suggest that GTK is slow and uses lots of processor power for the simplest of interfaces. Are you suggesting that the GTK developers are clueless buffoons, who spend their time adding hacks to the treeview to give the illusion of speeding it up, instead of actually optimising and making it work at a decent speed.
I mean, any fool can see that GTK is lightning quick these days. Just try opening a terminal and cat-ing a file while watching the processor usage... it can drop as low as 94% sometimes... now that's awesome optimising.
