You'll be >pleasantly surprised at how snappy it is. PLease, inform me! When did X-Windows come out as a postscript display? It didn't. NeWS has an X11 emulation written in postscript in it. We sure don't have it on our Sun systems! 3/50's running a very slow interface. I couldn't IMAGINE how slow it would be if it was a postscript display (YAWN!). Actually, I found NeWS (not X/NeWS) on the 3/50 to be faster than X10. Part of that could have been that the X10 window managers were unusable at best. Of course, compared to an Amiga (_any_ Amiga), both were unberably slow.
