Bug#359172: libgtk2.0-0: scrolling much slower in gtk 2.8

[Sven Arvidsson]

This is a follow up for Debian bug 359172.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359172

> We have an in house application used by 12 simultaneous users (Xvnc
> access).
> After upgrading to gtk2.8, the system became unuseable because it was
> too much loaded. Our analysis shows that the application + Xvnc use much
> more CPU than with gtk2.6. 
> The main cause is scrolling, when changing the update policy to
> discontinuous, the load went down as normal.
> Something has changed in 2.8 that makes scrolling dead slow and cpu
> intensive.

Hi,

Is this bug still present in GTK+ 2.10 or 2.12? If so, does it help if
you use a theme designed for use on slow links, like Mist?
