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.
