tiny improvement of text widget ?

Hello everybody,

I'm working a lot with text widgets where i am tagging a lot of
characters. I usually put the list of indices (start - stop) in a list
and then a

eval $text tag add $tag $list

Knowing that there are generally 20 000 (up to more than 80 000)
indices in the list, I was wondering if it would speend up the process
if the indices could be transmitted as a list, like for example in
canvas : .canvas create line $ListOfIndices ?

I'm not sure this needs a TIP, and anyway, i'm not able to write one !
(I'm only a biologist !!)

Some thoughts about that ?

Thanks in advance !

Luc
