GNOME 2.15.4 has been released. "This is our fourth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.16.0, which will be released in September 2006. GNOME 2.15.4 has some rough edges but you should definitely try it to see how well it works." Easiest way to get it is via GARNOME.

So you see windows painting themselves slowly in GTK apps ?
Could you please give us the names of some of these apps ?
That's when you will cite the classic ones : OOo and Firefox, which of course, are not GTK apps, specially when you talk about their redraw method (except for the broken pango in Firefox).
And citing a survey is like trolling, especially as we are talking gnome 2.15.4 here, and I doubt your survey takes into account the 2.14 release which was out on march IIRC, knowing that 2.14 focused on performance.

Let's not start one of those "what is faster, really, philosophicaly speaking" arguments
Yeah. Let's instead start on of those "Take my word it's faster without me giving any arguments" discussions.
I really thought it was obvious, not worth pointing out, has been brought up again and again.
In my case, the problem is screen (re)drawing. I can see windows painting themselves, slowly, while on KDE and Windows they simply pop up. Since GTK apps are also slow on Windows (but QT aren't), this has to be a problem with GTK (rather than X, for example).
Also, as it has been already pointed out, in the recent survey "performance" was reported as problem #2 in frequency. So, I am not the first one to notice.
I am not trying to troll here, but I won't pretend I am a "happy, happy, happy" Gnome user.
