Transmission

As subject says on my system the Gtk+ UI is really bad WRT to interactivity, sometimes it may take more than a second to redraw and to select a clicked torrent.
The Qt4 one feels much more responsive to me, however it doesn't integrate as well in GNOME.

Has anyone else noticed that?

I'm noticing the GTK ui is very sluggish theese days, I have around 30 torrents (only 2 are active, the rest are paused) and it uses 100% of the cpu just scrolling the torrent list, I have Ubuntu Maverick and Transmission 2.13 (11501) from the PPA

I've brought that up with Jordan on IRC, but I haven't made a ticket out of it. It spikes if there are any paused torrents in that filter when scrolling.

Edit: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3887

Jordan pinned it down. The problem is caused by Ubuntu themes that use the murrine engine. Changing the appearance to Clearlooks "fixed" it for me.

Any productive information about the behavior in the murrine engine should be reported upstream to this ticket:

Thanks, I'll be changing the theme for now and follow the launchpad thread. I thought for a moment that my aging Athlon XP was too old for doing anything nowadays...
