[Gambas-devel] Perfomance differences between gb.gtk and gb.qt components

[José Luis Redrejo]

I attach here a simple example: its a form with a lot of widgets, but only
this code:
PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
    PRINT "before"
      WAIT 1
      PRINT "after"

END

You can see as it takes ages between printing "before" and "after" in the
console.
The funniest thing: if you add a timer to the form, it behaves right.
This didn't happen before the loop event fixes for gtk.

On the other hand, it's a little ridiculous the thread about the gtk
slowness vs qt speed. Whenever I start qt applications from a Gnome desktop
qt (and specially kde) apps need a long time to start. If you're a kde user
you'll notice the same with gtk applications. It's not a question of which
platform is fastest, it's a question of merging them.
I'm not going to be the advocate of gtk (some of its libraries suck) but
some of the things I've read in the last days are a nonsense.

Cheers.
José L.
