I had some similar problems using PV-Wave widgets on an HP CRX24/Z.
The animation speed before and after the installation of the CRX24/Z graphics
board wasn't any different. The solution I found, was to set the keyword /pixmap,
when calling the widgets. This caused a dramatic increase in animation speed.
However for some mysterious reason, a black image appear in the cine-loop, which
caused some flashing effect. :(

I ran into this too, except with a GS card (24-bit) on a Sparc 2. A Spac LX with
a GX+ (8-bit) card beats the pants off my machine in animation and display speed.
Even when running IDL on my Sparc 2 and displaying OVER THE NETWORK on the LX
is faster than displaying locally ;-(. IDL must be unoptimized for 24-bit
cards.

Greg.

P.S. I'd be interested in fixes too.
