Does anyone have any experience with running a lot of X or NeWS clients
on a Unix mainframe?  Given the way that per-character interrupts in
programs like vi or emacs tend to degrade performance, I wonder what
window systems are like.

It would seem that NeWS would be better suited to migrating functionality
down to the server - have people done that with editors?
