The difference between Vim (GTK2) and Vim (GTK3) is rather jarring. I have two hypotheses: 1. GTK3 is just slow. 2. The GTK2 code path in Vim is older and thus more optimized than the GTK3 code path. Which one is it?

Maybe GTK2 didn't vsync?

I would put good money on the first one, based on experience with GTK development and my guesses about the way Vim uses GTK (presumably, they don't do anything different across GTK2/GTK3 that they don't have to).
