Thanks for the responses regarding which X Server to use for the Sun.
I will post a summary once the responses stop flowing in.

I was interested in a few of the responses, though, that implied that
color under MIT's X11.R3 ain't so slow.  I have been using Purdue speedups
and MIT fixes 1-10 on both a 3/60 (compiled with gcc) and a 386i (compiled
using plain old cc).  It's possible that I've done something stupid
in building Xsun on either or both platforms, and that I missed some
important optimization, or maybe my opinion of slow differs from someone
else's.  So, to avoid wasting hours possibly chasing my tail, can some
kind soul out there in FTP land, who thinks that color isn't too slow,
allow me to snarf his or her compiled Xsun for the Sun-3 and/or the 386i 
to see if it's any faster than the one I built.  

Thanks.
