Dear Joris,

Kind thanks for your reply.

Scrolling: we re-tested it on a machine with 2 GB of memory (my X41 has 
only 0.5 GB, though in principle that should be enough). Pictures do get 
resized when a document is opened first, then when it is scrolled 
foreward, and in general again when it is scrolled backward. This can be 
identified by the warning messages in Konsole if Texmacs is opened via 
the command-line. Sometimes, repeating scrolling over a set of a few 
pictures is faster, but not in general if scrolling to a more distant 
part of the document is required.

The garbage collection message sometimes does appear as a konsole messages.

It won't help to solve the present difficullties, but it is a 
consolation to know that an upcoming Qt port might eliminate the problem.

Again, many thanks,

Werner Hug
