[comp.windows.x] Performance of SPARCstation SLC as X-terminal

I'm aware of X-terminal performance measures which are relative to a
Sun-3/50 (such as xbench). But I've not come across any assessment of
a (diskless) Sun SPARCstation SLC as an X-terminal. I'd be most grateful
for any enlightenment.

The more fundamental question is choosing whether to purchase X-terminals
or SLCs. Sun's university pricing means that, ordered in quantity, diskless
SLCs are not much more expensive than monochrome X-terminals (with slightly
larger screens but smaller memory); and maintenance for the former is
considerably less.
