Do you avoid GTK apps in Windows 7 such as Firefox and Open Office?
Because then you also have the overhead of two widgetsets. Do you
avoid Qt in both Ubuntu and Windows? Opera, Google Earth, Skype, and
many other applications are Qt.

It seems that he meant Qt _and_ GTK, as GTK is used by Gnome and Qt is
used by VLC.

If you insist that Qt is slowing down your computer, then please post
the results of your  benchmarks with VLC 0.8.x and 0.9.x showing that
0.9.x is more resource intensive. If it really is slowing down our
systems, then I would also look for an alternative. Thanks in advance.
