I don't recall the details, but a few years ago I had a system
meltdown on my Mac right in the midst of a huge deadline (so, was
unwilling to do a full ground-up reinstall immediately, which I
probably just should have). I remember doing a bunch of flailing and
installing of different X's or windowing systems or whatever you call
them. Some of the configurations I went through were *shockingly*
slow at redrawing in direct graphics. So, I second the recommendation
to reinstall X, or try a different flavor.

I have to discuss the new tuition arrangements with my sons
before I can go. :-(
Cheers,
David
P.S. The incipient neurobiologist is not that excited about
attending the ACME School of Plumbing.

Well you will hate this but everything with the same setup works great
for me. I have no speed issues at all.

ps David, you can get a new mac today if you drive to Denver to the
mac store and pick one up :)

Oh, man! Don't be telling me this! I wonder if I
can still be booked into the Buddhist Seminary School
starting in January ...
