Timing test, WebkitWebView vs. GtkTextView

I need to put a fair number of WebkitWebViews into one GTK application, and it
takes over a second for my window to be built. (I am using Webkit-GTK 1.1.10.)
The constructor webkit_web_view_new() is very slow.

Please see attached program for a timing test. I have compared creating twenty
WebkitWebViews to creating twenty GtkTextViews, which is also a fairly
complicated widget.

Compile with:
gcc -o testbug testbug.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0`

Typical output:
