Adding all the message from history in GtkIMHtml takes a bit long causing pidgin to freeze for a second or two. So instead of adding all the messages at one go, add some of them in an idle callback.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
