gs and the time to display a window

[Alex Peake]

I have been learning about gs.

I tried (from the documentation):

R = [{window,[{map,true}],
      [{button,[{label,{text,"Butt1"}}]},
       {frame,[{y,40}],[{label,[{label,{text,"Lbl1"}}]}]}]}],
gs:create_tree(gs:start(),R).


I have a 1.8GHz PC with 500 MB of memory and next to nothing running, yet it takes about 12 seconds
for the window to appear. What is happening here?
