Haha... in my email I discovered an odd grammatical discrepancies.
That's what I get for posting this early.  ;)

In my work on FUPlayer, I discovered an odd performance discrepancy
between gtk.ListStore.insert() and gtk.ListStore.append(), namely that
insert() is significantly faster than append().

In my benchmarks, run under Ubuntu Breezy (pygtk 2.8.1, gtk 2.8.6),
populating a ListStore using insert() ran in 77% the time of append().
To me this suggests a bug in pygtk or gtk.

I have attached small script demonstrating this.

Cheers!
