I did come up with one possible slowdown. 

gcompris has one root canvas, and when a confirmation query is displayed, its 
canvas items are put to the same tree of canvas items as the main canvas. 
This could mean that there is a large amount of canvas items in one item tree 
and this causes slowdown.

If I figure out how to, I'll try putting confirmation query to a new window 
(or Gtk frame?) and see if libgnomecanvas can handle that better.

Best regards,
