Basically the treeview requires some thought to use. Some operations
or methods of using it can be linear time (or if you do something
really silly, quadratic time; e.g. a linear-time operation done in a
loop).

It can also be slow if you copy all your data into the treeview, 
rather than using a custom model, for large datasets.

Another thing to do is fill the model prior to setting it on the
treeview widget.

No, definitely not. CTree is busted.
