Hello,
I found Geany some time ago, searching for a simple, small IDE, and while it definitely looks very nice, the thing that surprised me the most was how incredibly slow the editor was.
Somehow I din't notice the slowness, but scrolling a document in Geany consumes a full 100% CPU (one core) here while scrolling a document (with images) in OpenOffice.org only takes ~40% of one core.
I can confirm, that scrolling gets "slower" or "stucking" and CPU gets 100% here to. This especially seem to happen, when there is text outside the "drawed" area of the editor component and has to be redrawn.
I also noticed the cursor "stucking" around braces when moving it with the arrow keys. I can't say this would be slowing down the work, but it's getting more slower if the CPU has some other things to do. So i can imagine, if someone has a very slow CPU - say an old 233MHz engine - this would not be that nice.
I did not check Scite's performance yet...
Unfortunately i don't have Scite installed here too...
