An interesting question could be which engine is faster but this is probably hard to test and maybe not even worth if the difference is quite small or not even noticeable.

This isn't strictly Scintilla's fault. It's rather because of the fact that we use the GTK port of Scintilla on Windows while Scintilla has its own Windows port which runs way faster. But using it isn't that easy as everything around is still GTK. But this is something we maybe could improve.

The question is whether really the plain displaying(i.e. drawing it on the screen) of the list is slow or whether generating the contents of the list is slow. The drawing is Scintilla's part, filling values into the list is Geany's part which could also be slow.

For those guys having performance problems on Windows with Geany, I would recommend to have a look on Programmers Notepad: www.pnotepad.org, it uses - other than Geany - the Windows port of Scintilla (AFAIK). This also would have the effect, that it could be found out if there is a generic problem or a problem related to the GTK port of Scintilla (or maybe even Geany).
Hope that maybe helps out the Windows-using guys until the Windows-Port of Geany got improved ;)
Btw: I personally did not have any problems with Geany on Windows yet, just one time Geany used 100% CPU, in month of using Geany on Windows at work. And I'm using the nightly builds. :)
