I think I remember reading someplace that a math co-processor
such as the 80387 will speed up X-windows -- I think they said
something about Xwindows using the co-processor to do its 
calculations for all the screen movement stuff.   Is this true?

I am running Xwindows (I believe it's r3) on Sysvr3 (Esix) on
a 386/25.

Thanks!

Bill
