Has the toolkit been decelerated? Various seemingly simple functions in things such as xmh, that were virtually instantaneous in R3, now take up to 5 seconds. This is on an HP 9000/370. It appears that some server functions on a Topcat display may be about a factor of 2 slower than the copy of X11R3 we're running. The Renaissance looks about the same speed though. ---------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@isi.edu

Has the toolkit been decelerated? Various seemingly simple functions in things such as xmh, that were virtually instantaneous in R3, now take up to 5 seconds. This is on an HP 9000/370. xmh has undergone a rather substantial rewrite since R3. Perhaps you could provide a bit more detail, so we know where to look. Exactly what functions? Is it any faster against an R3 server (are you sure it's an application problem)? It appears that some server functions on a Topcat display may be about a factor of 2 slower than the copy of X11R3 we're running. The Renaissance looks about the same speed though. Exactly which functions? I doubt the HP ddx folks will be able to help you without a bit more information, and I can't even tell whether the problem might be dix or ddx.
