model = combo_box.get_model()
combo_box.set_model(None)
model.clear()
for entry in desired_entries:
model.append([entry])
combo_box.set_model(model)
model.append is essentially the same as combo_box.append_text. Setting
the model to None before making changes to it speeds things at least in
the case of tree views. I'm not sure if it does much with combo boxes.
If you experince speed issues with combo boxes you're either doing
something very wrong or you have so many entries that you ought to be
using a tree view instead.
