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.
