App on Linux - really slow... any ideas why?

The bug that was reported and was fixed was related to icons flashing
multiple times in the Rev IDE

Oh, they certainly *do* persist in 3.5 (under Ubuntu, that is); that was the
version I was using when I discovered the major slowdown and wrote to the
list. I've contacted you off-list about this.

I'll test this in a couple of other Linux distros and window managers, but
as Ubuntu (and its variants) get a lot of press, even if it worked better in
other distros it would be great not to have to tell customers "this works
great in ____, but don't use it in Ubuntu".

:-)

I'll report back what I find...
