Maybe gentoo and suse include badly optimised GTK+ libraries?

If it works fine on, say Redhat, then it's hardly a problem in gnubg?

I've no idea on how to interprete the strace output, but one question
came to mind: does the GUI slow on both 2D and 3D boards?

For the mailing list readers:

Would output from gprof be more interesting, i.e., would that reveal
where the additional time is spend? I didn't follow the thread closely,
but as far as I remember Achim said that CPU time was identical, but wall
time was much longer (Achim, can you confirm?)! Will the wall time be
attributed to the correct routine in a gprof experiment?
