I have a fairly large appliction which I translated from X10 to X11 for displaying text,lines, images... on the screen. On a BWhite SUN (3-160), X11 is quite the same (or better) than X10. However when I run it on a SUN3(110C and 60C) with a cgfour display my appliction runs about 3 times SLOWER than it used too with X10 , especially when displaying images, filling up rectangles, text,... Note that this also happens when I am using the BW display (2 planes) on a cgfour driver. I know for a fact that our version of X11 was compiled with the standard C compiler. I remember reading on the xpert bulletin board that X11 performance could be improved drastically by compiling it with another compiler. Is this true, and if so could you send me a pointer where I can dounload an optimized version of X11 binaries and libraries for SUN3s? thanks
