I am looking for some code to show images on an X-terminal running off of a SPARCstation 1 as a video sequence. I know that xloadimage has the slideshow routine, but this is too slow for my purposes. I have tried modifying this code to speed up the sequence, but I'm afraid this is out of my league. Is there anything out there to show an image sequence at a reasonably fast rate on the X terminal?

If you use Pixmap's (fastest), you will run out of memory. I get very pleasing performace using Pixmaps on a SPARC, but you have to run the sequence a few times to get it all loaded up into Virtual Memory without swapping.
