I don't think it's so bad. I'm developing gtk2-perl applications and
deploying on a mix of Linux and Windows ( 2000 ) clients, and the
performance is actually quite impressive. It even runs inside vmware on
my Linux desktop quite well, though obviously not at full speed.

As per previous posts re: performance problems, have you tried changing
themes?

Also, what exactly is slow?
