It seems that twm takes longer than most window managers to display
a window. I have compared twm to other window managers :- attwm, uwm,
and XViews olwm; and have noticed the lasp of time to display a window
to be the greatest in twm.
I have set "RandomPlacement" in my .twmrc file and that does not seem
to speed up the window placement.
1) Is there a way to configure twm to display the window quicker?
The problem/feature becomes noticeable when using programs that like
to popup windows to perform actions (xbrowser for example).
Any help would be appreciated...
thanks

It takes the R4 twm around 2 seconds to map an xterm as opposed to the seven or eight seconds in the R3 version. -- Tom LaStrange Solbourne Computer Inc. ARPA: toml@Solbourne.COM 1900 Pike Rd.
