Status in Getting Things GNOME!: In Progress

Bug description:
Hey,

I recently stumble upon GTG and liked it instantly. Unluckily I have now discovered (after filling 200+ taks via the quick add entry) that it is too slow to be used productively.

- Filling the task on startup takes rather long. There should be nothing complicated to it...
- Typing a word in the note name row freezes GTG for ~2seconds. The same applies for adding a tag by typing  @..
- Filtering of tags takes ~1 seconds, but this should happen instantly

I only had a short look at your code and saw threading, locking code and a refresh method. Is that really needed?
Often in such simple applications pseudo threads via python generators and gobject.idle_add are more than sufficient.

IMHO performance could be improved by several orders of magnitude if you use a proper GTKTreeModel. With this at hand you don't need to care about updating or redrawing your stuff. You should also consider wrapping your file/source abstraction in a custom GTKModel that yields the correct signals when required (not that difficult...)

I haven't looked at what happends when you add a tag. But maybe you can only do (what ever you currently do) when I hit enter/linefeed or close the window.

Thanks and best Regards,
steve-e
