You have given no facts, only stated what you thought you observed. Please
give benchmark results with hard numbers.

I do not know who is correct, but I suspect that the assertion that
CscHTML renders faster than the equivalent GtkHTML, simply because it does
not link to gnome-libs, is false. The way to provide proof is to create a
benchmark that everyone can agree on, then evaluate both widgets based on
that benchmark.

It easier to trust the speed observations of a computer than a human,
