I would be interested to know, have you profiled the startup time difference
between using GtkBuilder and manually creating widgets ?

Is it a significant difference with a large UI ? (say 50+ widgets at least ?)

I am curious because the main issues with libglade on embedded platforms
seemed to be the heavy libxml2 dependency, and the load time with GtkBuilder
should be reduced compared with libglade - although honestly I dont know
how much so.

That being said, if using GtkBuilder is too slow/not an option to you, you can
consider to write your own script/tool to generate code from Glade xml output
(or you can write your own optimized flavor of libglade).

Cheers,
