[pygtk] Large textview textbuffers files

[Fredrik Corneliusson]

Hi,
I know gtk-textview has performance issues with long lines. It is not
the amount of data that makes it sluggish just 20k of chars without
newlines is enough. I think it has been reported as a bug for GTK but
it would require big changes to how text rendering works so no one has
been willing to fix it.
But maybe there is a workaround.

Regards,
Fredrik
