Is this a known bug in the sample server? In x11perfmon?

   x11perf is a fairly comprehensive set of benchmarks for X11 servers, and
   descends from an earlier version we used to measure and improve the pmax color
   server.  It times both graphics and windowing performance, and will probably
   find something embarassing on every server it runs on.

I've built x11perf on tan:/u1/oren/x11perf/x11perf.  I tried running it on my
Sun4, and it hangs the server while trying to "calibrate 1-pixel diameter
filled circles".

Are you sure the server is hung, or merely very slow?  1-pixel filled circles
creates 1000 circles at a time.  And the MIT mi code doesn't seem to paint
anything for 1-pixel filled circles, though it does paint a single dot for
1-pixel unfilled circles.  No doubt uses huge amounts of floating point, too.

Perhaps I'd better back off some of the numbers and it should create, say 100 circles.  It would be nice to know what numbers are for various servers out there.
