[pygtk] Pixbuf loading too slow on Windows!

Hi,

As far as I can tell, both functions don't have pygtk specific
overrides. This means they simply execute the gdk-pixbuf (c library)
equivalent and return the result.

So the question becomes, what gtk+ runtime are you using? Did you
recently upgraded that runtime? If yes, did you see the same slowness
on the older gtk+ runtime?

This is important because starting with gtk+-2.18.3 the binaries from  
ftp.gnome.org are configured with --enable-gdiplus. If you are using
one of the newer gtk+ versions from ftp.gnome.org then this thread
on gtk-list might interest you:

mvg,
