[wxperl-users] wxTextCtrl very slow on large data files

[Peter G. <pe...@pg...>]

I have a 10MB file which I am trying to load using wxTextCtrl, and I am
using wxPerl.

I have a string $text, which contains the complete text, and the
offending line is:

$self->AppendText($text) ; 


On Windows, the load time is 5 secs.

On Fedora 5, the load time is 15 secs if I set LANG=C
and 85 secs if I set LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Does anyone know if there is a faster way to load text, using this
widget or a different widget or do I have an intrinsic problem with gtk?


Thanks,

Peter
