A lot of folks have asked about this, so to refresh all your memories:
There's two things you can do to make scrolling repaint go faster.
In your .defaults file, include the line:
/Tty/Retained "Yes"
That way, the terminal emulator can do text moves using bitblt,
instead of repaint.
If SunOS/4.0 does not have this option, or you are on a memory limited
color monitor , then don't worry about it.
Also, tell UNIX and Emacs that the Sun terminal supports
MULTI-Line and MULTI-Character insert/delete.
Add this patch to your /etc/termcap file:

> If SunOS/4.0 does not have this option, SunOS 4.0 has this option; I presume from your statement that you don't have access to it. In that case, also note that: > Also, tell UNIX and Emacs that the Sun terminal supports >MULTI-Line and MULTI-Character insert/delete. ...the 4.0 "termcap" file has AL and DL capabilities for the "sun" entry already, so you shouldn't add them. (I don't know if later 3.x "termcap" files had them; check before adding those entries.)
