Abysmal performance
Code::Blocks is REALLY sluggish when editing files. Usually I get about 3-5 screen updates per second when I type something or even just move the cursor. If I have another CPU intensive process running, C::B becomes practically unusable at an update rate of 1fps. And this is a dual CPU box. Have other Linux users seen anything like this?
I'm running Debian unstable with wxGTK 2.6.3 and Code::Blocks r2775 compiled with GCC 4.1.2. My main system is a dual AthlonXP 2600+ with 3GB of RAM and a GeForce 6600GT, and I've seen the same problem on several other systems as well.

History
This appears to be dependent on computer uptime. The performance starts to get noticeably worse after 20-30 days. It sounds suspiciously similar to one problem I encountered in one of my programs - I was counting seconds since program startup with a float variable, and after a couple weeks, it ran out of precision and framerates started to drop. I'm not exactly sure how this would affect C::B though, but maybe you guys know your code better.
A fix has been applied in revision 3676 which reduces the CPU usage. You'll find newer C::B to perform better.
Thanks for your feedback.
