[comp.windows.x] xedit on Sun 386i/OS4.0.1 *very* slow

  I recently brought up X11R3 on my Sun 386i's running 4.0.1. Most everything
in the basic distribution works well 'cept for xedit. It works, but inserting
characters is incredibly slow. Everything is fine if you're adding characters
to the end of the file. Same holds true for the composition window in xmh.

  So, is there a fix for this amazing crawl *or* is there a way to make xmh
fire up a window with a different editor in it rather than its own editting
window?
