I've noticed that the xview tools run very slowly over a low speed network
(SLIP, localtalk, ..). So just for fun, I ran xscope to compare the traffic
generated by echoing a single keystroke in cmdtool as contrasted with xterm.
cmdtool needed 336 bytes of traffic, where xterm needed 60. This is just
the x-protocol data, and doesn't count the KeyPress event.
This was the easiest thing to measure, but just about everything else I
try in xview runs poorly over a slow link too.

XView is a toolkit (one of 4) to implement an Open Look interface. OpenWindows is the entire Sun X product. Xnews is the X server within that product.
