One thing that would help is a functional interface to pango. I think that this is the root the gtk slowdowns.
Another direction is to re-package Yi as a number of libraries (Ropes, Keymaps, etc.) to be used elsewhere eg. in Leksah. If anybody has any good idea for Yi, I'd be happy to volunteer as a mentor.
