GTK is very slow in itself, and scrollbars very much slower than any 
other
toolkit.  If you are running Gnome or any fancy theme, you probably have
pixmap scrollbar thumbs.  This means that each scroll has to render a
complete image (png usually) for each movement.  The Athena widget
just does XDrawRectangle, which is faster by a couple of magnitudes.
