I only briefly read the other replies, so maybe I'm repeating something here. One thing I remember that can speed things up drastically is to only associate the model with the tree view once it has all its data. AFAIR, populating the model while it's linked to the tree view slows things down quite a bit. - Jannis _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
