I agree, graphic artist are welcome, just edit the file skin.svg.

I am not that happy with the performance but never saw a degradation
over time. Can you make the test without the sounds (gcompris -m).

Hum, not a high end machine by modern standard. Over time as we load
images, they end up in a cache in GTK. Perhaps there is a lot of swap
going on on your system after a while. Perhaps we have a memory leak in
one or more activities.

Hum, I tested entered / exiting bargame activity and I confirm that we
have a leak. I suspect the python plugin because I could not reproduce
on a C based activity.

I'll have a look asap.

Bruno.
