This may be related to something I've noticed, and may not....but if anyone has
the answer to this one, I'd really like to know it!

I'm running Ultrix 4.0 on a vaxstation 3100, have not yet compiled MIT X11R4
(waiting for a big hard disk to come in...then I compile it), so I'm running
the DEC server.  However, I have compiled some of my favorite MIT versions of
clients, some of which aren't even provided with Ultrix.

Here's the problem.  When I run twm (which I prefer greatly over dxwm!), it
seems to have a serious negative impact on the performance of many
applications.  One that really shows this effect is "xlock -mode qix" --- the
patterns are really slow and choppy.....

Has anyone noticed this, and does anyone know what the problem/fix is?
Please respond via direct email, as I sometimes don't beat the expiration on
news here....I'll post a summary if anyone wants me to.

Thanks,
Jim Graham
