The nice thing about all the GUI binding libraries we have at the moment is that they are wrappers over C libraries so the speed of the GUI should be pretty good unless you install a really slow event handler that gets fired all the time. I'd go as far as to say that a wxHaskell or gtk2hs GUI should be faster than an equivalent Java AWT/Swing gui. :-) Duncan
