Everyone agrees that XNeWS requires more memory than current window
systems. But this is not a problem with SunOS. It's not even sloppy
coding in XNeWS. It is an obvious implication of running software that
implements two window systems at the same time.... The X-based
applications from XNeWS work fine with the MIT X server ...
If the XNeWS server is run with X11ONLY set, memory consumption is
drastically reduced. (On my machine it went from 4+ MB to 2+ MB, according
to top.) SunView applications can still be run, but WINDOW_PARENT must be
set explicitly to /dev/win0. There appear to be some problems running
XView applications like filemgr if X11ONLY is set (problems displaying
property sheets, etc.).
