Correction:
Mouse-wheeling shows a similar (over-the-top cycle consuming)
behaviour as key input. It appears to be the entry of the event as
such that spawns the effect.
Regardless of what the toolkit is, avoiding redrawing areas which have
not changed is often an important performance improvement. I think you
should file a bug about your specific case on
bugzilla.gnome.org.
The pixmap theme engine itself is of course quite slow due to how it
works. I would not recommend ever using any theme based on this engine.
