<We have a 4D/70G which seems to run graphics very slowly compared to
<older Iris models. [...] Is it possible that the 4Sight windowing system
<is the cause of this slowdown?

	One thing to check is, if you are not using Gouraud shading, be
sure you have a 'shademodel(FLAT)' near the start of your program.
If you do not, everything will be drawn Gouraud shaded.  This was
causing a huge preformance hit on some code we ported to a 4D/70.
