Don't know if any of the optimizations have made it to a GTK+
release or onto the Windows port.
A current summary of my (superficial?) performance investigations:
[snip]
I thought this was normal (that Win32 GTK+ apps have a different
kind of responsiveness.) The whole GTK+ kaboodle is a pretty large
library, and it is another layer sitting on top of Win32. Redraw
definitely behaves differently compared to Win32 native apps. Try
this on any big GTK+ app on Win32: GIMP and Inkscape are all a
little less than crisply responsive, and processor usage usually
spike quite high when large redraws are needed. Scrolling say, an
Inkscape tutorial causes processor usage to shoot up pretty easily.
Yeah, GTK+ on Win32 probably can do with some more optimization,
but I see this as primarily a GTK+ on Win32 issue, not a real
problem with Scintilla/SciTE. Improving GTK+ on Win32 will benefit
all apps that use it; modifying Scintilla/SciTE seems like a
short-term fix.
