No. And AFAIK Abdel never claimed that qt4 was fast on linux. Moving the
scrollbar thumb of the userguide takes several (more than 5) seconds for
me until it moves with qt4. with gtk there is only a little delay (less
than one second). That is not perfect, but acceptable. qt4 is unusable,
but I don't have the time nor the qt4 knowledge to debug this.
Is this a post or pre-unicode behaviour?

post. And qt3 is not much better. It really looks like the unciode
conversion (at least how it is done currently) is too expensive.
And I though qt supported unicode directly, so there would be no more
conversions while running than there was before unicode.  Isn't that
possible with a suitable internal representation of the text strings?

Of course there might be a one-time conversion when loading the
document, but why is it considered necessary to do conversions while
painting the screen? Does it have to be that way?
