[platform-swt-dev] Performance of event handling

[Thomas Singer <ts-swt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello experts,

Are there already some researches regarding the performance of event 
handling in SWT for non-trivial applications? From time to time I need 
to debug our application through code of SWT event handling and 
depending on the control there are quite a large number of listeners and 
for each event it steps through all the listeners. Wouldn't it be more 
efficient if adding a listener would sort them by their event type, so 
the loop knows when it can abort earlier? Wouldn't it be better, to 
ensure to have just 1 (instead of multiple) listeners of the same type, 
so the array of all listeners could be binary searched?
