Re-hello, Just to round up, I installed LinuxMint 13 (with Cinnamon Desktop), and the combo box loads very, very fast on this installation, with both gtk2 and gtk3. This is a huge difference compared to my Ubuntu 12.04 partition.
I tried to fix Ubuntu by upgrading its "linux 3.2.generic-pae" kernel to "linux 3.4 generic", but it did not help. So there's something inside Ubuntu that is the hindrance. $ dpkg -l | egrep -i "dbg|debug" <nada> Anyway, this is a happy ending. LinuxMint13 runs like a dream on this 8-core Toshiba Satellite L755 laptop.
