The eventual goal is to manage multiple windows as well, so you can see more

Agreed. The reason I didn't try that was because I didn't know was GtkNotebook
was. What would be really slick would be to be able to do what gaim does, drag
and drop tabs across different windows or even drag a tab out of a window
in order to create a new one.

I did not do any benchmarks but there does not seem to be any noticable speed
differences.
