And in a remote corner of the webb I read that QT has a cost and Gtk hasen't and that QT is (more or less) bound to some strange C++ preprocessor and that Gtk (since written in C) could be bound to any language (except esperanto). > > cheers > -- > Gian Mario Tagliaretti > ___ > gtk-app-devel-list mailing list > gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list -- Göran Hasse Göran Hasse email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 019-450105 Raditex AB http://www.raditex.se Planiavägen 15, 1tr Mob: 070-5530148 131 34 NACKA, SWEDEN OrgNr: 556240-0589 VAT: SE556240058901 -- ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Yes, no, maybe. >From my experience, speed is really divided into two things: perception and throughput. On the perception side of things, sometimes end users perceive GTK as slow due to things like flicker during refresh, or widgets that redraw too many times during a resize. These are issues that have been addressed and are being addressed. Some of the perception issues have a lot to do with the asynchronous nature of X11, or due to the way GDK was implemented on windows (windows don't redraw while being moved on windows xp, for example). If the problem is X11, then Qt will exhibit it also. Things like double buffering and the new X11 synchronization protocol help with flickering. As for throughput, you'll need hard numbers to make any judgments there. And it all depends on what you are doing too. From what I've seen, GTK is probably faster and light than Qt. Signal propagation is known to be faster, and in general, GTK is pretty quick, at least as fast as Qt. I highly doubt GTK takes up "much" memory compared to Qt either. Frankly there are lots of reasons to choose one toolkit over the other but simply "slow" or "much memory" are not initially valid reasons. Rather ease of development, the richness of the widgets, the ability to rapidly generate good, usable interfaces, and other factors are much, much more important to you as a developer. Whether or not and end user thinks your program is slow often depends on how badly you've set up the interface! ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
