   The other thing to do is see if the standard text widget or
GtkSourceView is faster for you.

   Scintilla does things (mostly text measurement) differently to
GtkSourceView and there is a good chance they have different
performance profiles.

Thanks for this link too... I have grabbed their download, although they aren't as cool as Scintilla/SciTE and do not supply Makefiles/build scripts that can be used with [only] Windows-native tools. :(

Lately, I have been getting annoyed with some of the open source projects that essentially push me into using Cygwin as a *build environment* with actual Microsoft compilers and linkers... if there is any trouble at all, I get either "hmmm - I don't know" when some shell script for "ash"/"bash" refuses to run, or then there is the classic (and really useful) "well, you shouldn't be using Windoze anyway - Linux rulez" (or equivalent). ;)

This is after being unable to build the latest release of OCaml, and then trying last week to build SeaMonkey... the latter came up because the [VC6-based] build system used for [at least] the SeaMonkey nightlies is not even *able* to build all of the components used in a properly outfitted release. Sigh.
