Have you ever tried recent GPE on a 200MHz iPaq? I find that very "snappy" too and it uses GTK2... The latest GTK release uses Cairo for rendering - which is nice in general but really a performance hog. But this is only in the very latest release. I hope and guess that this problem has already been recognised by the GTK developers and they hopefully work on it. I would like to have Cairo as a compile time option and not a fixed dependency. For small devices like the 770 or other PDAs you could then go without it (or slower devices). > lg Clemens Cheers nils faerber - -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen Mob: +49-176-21024535 - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDsnsQJXeIURG1qHgRAiofAJ9MNGan2jE43nnM0tkz7uKy19P9gwCghrvR P/NKx8hENuZStXB36YJ3NjE= =Ue2C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
