   With debugging off, the 
   [C++/InterViews/X11] version is about 1/6 the size of the whole Smalltalk image,
   although graphics performance is still slower -- probably due to the many layers of 
   software needed, while Smalltalk is able to BitBlt.

What X11 server are you using? If its on a sun3, for example, I can
see why the performance is slow. Also, I believe that InterViews 2.5
has BitBlt capability.
