DEC3100-Xlib performance

[fisher at moon.dec.com]

Jonas Nyrgen asks about the speed of arcs on a DECstation 3100 vs a MAC.
I am not a MIPS or Ultrix heavy (I'm from VMS, actually), but you need to consider
that you are not really comparing apples to Apples (ahem :-) ).

Seriously, the X protocol specifies arcs quite precisely, but in general, it is
quite expensive to implement this spec.  Have you tried comparing (width=0) lines?
How about text?  Etc.
