   Unless I'm missing something, it's O(n^2) with slow operations on  
every update - dynamic casts and repaints - and a very large constant  
factor.  Furthermore it took me over an hour to decipher what was  
going on in this patch.  It's horribly convoluted.

   Also remove() is a poor API name.  It doesn't indicate at all what  
is happening.

   Yes absolutely.  It's not the dialog slowness that is the  
concern.  It slows down all of Kst.
