if he was the only one that reported it like this I would think the 
same.

He is not - the most common tweet about jbosstools is either "its great" 
or "its slow", lately there have been more "its slow" thus
why I'm worried.

I myself can see the slowness when I run it and report what I find - but 
we can't just wait for users to get annoyed enough to then give feedback 
when its too late to fix.

good thing we need GTK2 then :)

joking aside - can we help akurtakov by providing a simple SWT app that 
shows the regression ?
