Hi, I tried it, but the performance was still abysmal. I find it unusable.
Scrolling and zooming are one frame per second and it really disrupts
anything that you are trying to do.

A friend of mine, who is a Mac lover, created this for testing, it's made
with "winebottler" and works acceptably. I just fired it up at the same time
as your custom one to compare performance with the same machine
load/available cpu time and it is really night and day.

Excuse the win UI. If the download disappears, let me know, I will upload it
to my server instead.
