This brought to mind a question of the speed difference between the MIT
distribution and the Apple product.  Does anyone have information comparing
both Apple MacX and Apple X11r4 against the standard release.

Note to those not familiar with the Apple X product: X Windows as sold for A/UX
has two components one, named MacX, that implements X11r3 with Multifinder
compatibility.  The other simply refered to as X11r4 implements the standard X
that one might see on any UNIX machine.
