If the X11R3 port was badly done (rushed, for example, to meet shipping
deadlines) then this could be true.

Or, if X11R4 were recoded in hand-optimized assembly language by
Jez San, then it could be an order of magnitude faster in color than pcc-
compiled X11R3. (I suppose that qualifies as "magick". :-)
