Also note that we don't necessarily need to fix the code ourselves, good profiling data is often acted on by lower level libraries maintainers. The default strategy is to pretend it's higher level code fault of course, but issues can't be denied or ignored when proven by numbers and test cases :P<br>

Well, I don't think it's likely you or me will be able to fix this
one. It's lower level than Python<br>
and it looks to be by design of the lower level libraries.<br>
<br>
Note this mainly affects the XO1 which is already considered End Of
Life. I think efforts are<br>
much more productive in trying to make the GNU+Sugar user experience
excellent on <br>
Classmates and other netbooks.<br>
<br>
BTW, we are not the only ones affected. The entire LXDE desktop
environment has decided<br>
to forego migrating to GTK3 and instead decided to port everything
to QT.<br>
<br>
Here's a quote from the initial release of the QT file manager
PCManFM [1]:<br>
<i>"I, however, need to admit that working with Qt/C++ is much more
pleasant and productive than messing with C/GObject/GTK+.</i><i><br>
</i><i>Since GTK+ 3 breaks backward compatibility a lot and it
becomes more memory hungry and slower, I don’t see much advantage
of GTK+ now. GTK+ 2 is lighter, but it’s no longer true for GTK+
3. Ironically, fixing all of the broken compatibility is even
harder than porting to Qt in some cases (PCManFM IMO is one of
them).</i><i><br>
</i><i>So If someone is starting a whole new project and is thinking
about what GUI toolkit to use, personally I might recommend Qt if
you’re not targeting Gnome 3.</i><i>"<br>
