Jim,
In response to your posting about patch psk5 from Apollo concerning
the big performance increase for X, how much of an increase in
performance will I see? (an informal response like "a whole lot" or
"it's really fast" is ok; formal benchmarks even better)
I have been really discouraged by the performance of X on the Apollo.
I was told by an Apollo engineer that X at SR10.2 (we are at SR10.2)
would have good performance. I'm sorry, but I don't see it. We
are committed to Apollos as our engineering workstation but I can't
see delivering products to our customers with user interfaces with
*slow* response times.
Is there any hope? Or is this patch psk5 my answer?
BTW, I have a DN3000 with 8 Mb at SR10.2. Do we need a DN10000 with
32 Mb on every desk?
A hopeful Apollo user,
Scott
