I just installed the new version and the first thing I noticed was how slowly new windows open and how slow switching between them is. I can also confirm the noticeably slower scrolling in buffers.

I do use a not so powerful computer, but the difference with v6.16 is huge.

For example, when I clicked a channel button on the switchbar in v6.16, the response came immediately (switchbar button selected, channel visible ...). Now the channel window appears first, then I see the nicklist refreshing (it flashes a bit) and finally the switchbar button gets selected. This takes about a second. Especially the delay between the "nicklist refresh" and the selection of the switchbar button is noticeable.

I tried turning off UTF-8 display, but it makes no difference.
