I also find CLIM (1.1 Lucid) text drawing to be much slower than I'd
like. Simply calling clim:draw-text* on short strings (5 characters),
with each one wrapped in a different presentation, can take a couple
of seconds on a Sparc 10 to display a couple hundred items. It is
this kind of marginal performance on simple tasks that makes people
wonder if they should be using CLIM at all, since X applications do
this kind of thing almost instantaneously.
Are any of the CLIM vendors putting effort into optimizing these kinds
of simple operations? I strongly advocate such work.
