Hi,
I know gtk-textview has performance issues with long lines. It is not
the amount of data that makes it sluggish just 20k of chars without
newlines is enough. I think it has been reported as a bug for GTK but
it would require big changes to how text rendering works so no one has
been willing to fix it.
But maybe there is a workaround.

Regards,
Fredrik

You can use Google.  Search for:

I don't know.  Does the text need word-wrapping?  If not, try turning it
off with gtk.TextView.set_wrap_mode().  It's probably not the only problem.
There may be another text widget more suitable for large amounts of text.
