Well I know lazarus uses mostly gtk1. GTK1 is a little outdated in my
eyes.

What is the actual status on gtk2? I noticed that the IDE gets much
slower in GTK2 than 1 on my system.

Almost the same slow speed as using smooth-themes for gtk1.

Hope there will be a speedup in this case soon ...

There is detailed status information here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GTK2_Interface

For my personal projects I use gtk2 whenever possible, but I still
develop with the gtk 1 IDE.

Did you ever find a binary installer or download? Following your link
to the gtk site seems to indicate that only source code is available
for gtk2 libaries:

Thanks.

No, I've never see a binary installer too ... I would say that the
lazarus wiki is probably wrong about this.
