Just to get the speed baseline: On my box (x86_64 3500+) the scroll userguide down test takes approx. 7 seconds with xforms. (One of my main reasons for not deleting the xforms frontend outright. QtX (and of use of it) is still to slow, and IMHO we need xforms to be very clear about how fast it should be.) xforms: ~7 seconds qt3: ~23 seconds qt4: ~36 seconds gtk: ~20 seconds The tests might however not be entirely fair since xforms is quite bad at fonts and anti-aliasing. But that difference should not be _that_ big. -- Lgb
