That's strange and it is the first time I heard something like that.

Two days ago I also asked on wxWidgets list if using XRC is kind of
idiomatic within wxWidgets community and Vadim Zeitlin (one of the core
devs) replied: 

"Personally I've never really understood the appeal of compiling into code
and whenever I use XRC I load it during run-time. Perhaps you can gain some
minor performance advantage from compiling it into code (although I don't
know if anybody has ever really measured this) but using XRC is much more
flexible as you can tweak it without recompiling/rebuilding and often even
without restarting the program so I'd definitely recommend using it as is,
at least in the beginning."

I'd say your experience is probably not the accurate representation. Was
your problem with slow loading when using C++ or wxD?


Sincerely,
