I think that the great comparation is gedit vs SynEdit. gedit has a
decent speed, while synedit (and thus lcl-gtk2) has noticable speed
issues.

I think it was already determined that pango/cairo was the problem and
that using gdk directly would solve our problems, wasn't it?

I think he means separating gtk2 from gtk1.

Is Luis in the dev mailling list? The issue of separating was already
extensively discussed, and Mark didn't accept it, so we reached a
compromise that only some parts can be split for now, and that we
can't just split, but we need to first, or at the same time, improve
the code.
