As far as your suggestion goes: To extend it, developers should use RISC-based machines which are extremely picky about unaligned data and dereferenced NULL values. Users should use HP or DEC (e.g.) workstations which aren't. More seriously: We have reports that the X/News server is pretty demanding. Mwm is reasonably demanding; I have heard the same of gwm. The R4b server and R4 twm are also reasonable for developers with access to them.
