Subject: ruby-gnome2 performance

Hi guys,

I have problems with the performance of ruby-gnome2 bindings on my 
Windows machine.

For example, when I run the following code, it takes at least 1 second 
for the window to appear:

    require 'gtk2'
    Gtk.init

    button = Gtk::Button.new("Hello World")
    window = Gtk::Window.new
    window.signal_connect("destroy") { Gtk.main_quit }
    window.border_width = 10
    window.add(button)
    window.show_all

    Gtk.main

I am currently working on a complicate interface and this slow 
performance scares me,
especially because with Python I do not have the same problem.

Could it be that PyGTK is better implemented, or do I have a problem 
with my system ?
What do you think ?

I am on Windows XP, using Ruby 1.8.2 and ruby-gnome2 version 2-0.14.1

Thank you,
