Re: [wxperl-users] porting a perl/tk application to perl/wx

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

XRC is not particularly fast, but it is just about tolerable.

That assumes that that you compile with --disable-mimetype. For some
reason, using --enable-mimetype forces a read of all the mime files at
startup and that takes a really long time.
