The color contrast algo seems to have high CPU usage, this should be profiled and optimized.

I believe it's either the TextView itself or how I add the formatted / colored pieces to it... or something else that gets triggered (events?) slow it down.

Looks like its the ChatView._OnTextBufferChanged() that slows it really down. Every buffer insert triggers that method, and /names does lots of buffer inserts for all the color tags. /names on #smuxi went down from 35ms to 5ms :)

Yep, that was the issue. _OnTextBufferChanged() was refreshing text marks and also checking if lines need to be removed and that for every single buffer change (adding one line might do hundreds of changes). The code was simply moved from _OnTextBufferChange to OnMessageTextViewMessageAdded, making it executed once per message was added.

Oh and that 9 seconds went down to 430 ms on the first call and 130 ms in the second call :-)
