Crashes and performance are very different types of problem. Crashes get
fixed once they can be reproduced. Fixing bad performance can take a
long time.
Well, I haven't tested gtk2.7 since just after Cairo got added, so I
can't tell whether there is a performance problem. Has anybody got
numbers?
I have tried it several times since the change to cairo, i'm using a PIII at 733Mhz (which i think is not too obsolete) and performance is a real problem, i had to revert to gtk2.6 because GTK+ head is very very slow.
