   This whole thread is somewhat strange.... one of the things I liked about 
wxWindows was that it seemed like one of the snappier cross plateform 
libraries I've worked with. I'm on a relatively fast machine (1 Ghz with 512M) 
with Windows (which has been mentioned here as having a faster start).

   The first start up has touch of delay (less than most commercial apps), but 
after that it's instant.

   I guess it's hard to really remember just how much faster computers have 
gotten over time.
