Let me guess... Are you comparing older gtk+ 1.2 apps with bitmap fonts
in a non-utf8 environment using an older and lighter xfree86 against
newer gtk+ 2.x version of the same apps with truetype fonts &
antialiasing in an utf-8 environment using a newer and more capable X
windowing system (x.org)? How relevant is this?

It might be that gtk+ 2.x widgets are a bit slower than similar gtk+ 1.2
widgets but for the extras you get, it is well worth it.
