The register problem is as you described: using the scroll wheel is
noticeably slower on the bundled app than it is with the fink-

the Macbook's two-finger scrolling trackpad, and an external mighty
mouse, with the same results. The bundled app is scrolling slowly.
And yes, you are referring to the reconcile window problem I see. If
you wait long enough, the arrow key will eventually do something; it
just takes so long that you forgot what it was. I use the keyboard a
lot because OFX imported transactions come through on my machine as
pre-reconciled (I don't know why that would be...), and clicking one
of these de-selects it, and if you click on the transaction again to
reselect it, more often than not, you end up opening the register to
that transaction, taking you away from the reconcile window
altogether. A minor annoyance, to be sure. I avoid that by using the
arrow keys.
otool tells me that the cputype is I386.
OK, good that we're at least on the same page.
I'm not sure that I can do anything about differences in speed between
Quartz and X11. They should be in the other direction, of course, but
I don't know that for X11 Apple hasn't bypassed the Cocoa/Carbon
layers that gdk-quartz is forced to use. In any case, if it's a gdk-
quartz issue, it's not something that I can fix anytime soon. Gdk-
quartz is part of GTK+, and while the GTK+ developers will claim to
support Quartz when pressed, they are not actually doing anything --
not even applying patches supplied by other developers. (e..g: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588449
)
To further isolate the problem, though, you said in your OP that the
scrolling problem wasn't noticeable on 2.2.9 (vs. 2.2.9.1).
Is that truly the case with both issues? I didn't see a scrolling
problem using the 2-finger drag, just the lagging thumb when dragging
it. Is scrollwheel/2-finger-drag scrolling the only sort that you find
slow?
