I have an icon that I toggle which clicked. It seems that I can't toggle it any faster than about a second.

The handler is being called each click but it seems the gui is not updated more than about 1fps in that case? Although, I'm sure it update faster than 1fps, just seems the icon/image isn't.

The code I use to set the image is:

Image.setFromStock("gtk-go-up", GtkIconSize.SMALL_TOOLBAR);

or

Image.setFromStock("gtk-go-down", GtkIconSize.SMALL_TOOLBAR);

I also have been experiencing significant slow downs when the gui load for the first time. Doesn't always seem to happen but basically keyboard output across the os is unresponsive then everything occurs at once(when whatever catches up for quits interfering with the keyboard). It takes about 20 seconds for that to occur then everything works fine afterwards best I can tell.


(BTW, thanks mike for all the help ;))

Could you please post the complete minimal code (and compiler options) (or a link to them) required to reproduce the issue?

I'll try to formulate something when I get some time to do so. Just trying to get things to work the way I need them to see if gtk is gonna be the gui library I use.... lots of problems but hopefully it's just growing pains.

It takes about 3 seconds to write the map file(I have it generating cross references, not sure what it actually does but I thought it might help with debugging issues. I have it enabled for both x86 and x64. I thought I disabled
it with no differences, but maybe I missed it).

It takes another 4 seconds to create the pdb.

But it seems that about 6 seconds are done doing thing

Not sure what is happening in there but it seems like Visual D or Visual Studio issue rather than dmd ;/


I'll look in to it some more to see what I can find.
