Hello all,

While Uip is really great and simple to use, it is really slow on complex gui: A dialog with 256 (=16x16) buttons takes 40 sec to show while the same dialog programmed directly in Gtk+ takes only 8 sec. This is not a Lua problem: I used Uip's C-interface.

I want to state clearly that Iup is ok for a simple gui (say 10-20 widgets), but I think it's worth a try to port the libraries mentioned by Iñigo...

To be continued.
