A few people here with low-end Sun-3's (e.g. 4MB diskless 3/50 and 3/75)
have expressed interest in using OpenWindows so that they can run
pageview.  OpenWindows 1.0 seems rather sluggish, though, compared
to sunview.  I know OpenWindows 2.0 runs faster in benchmarks on
well-endowed systems, but is there also an improvement on memory-poor
diskless systems where paging may be a factor?  If not, is it worth our
while to try to get OpenWindows 1.0.1 from Sun?
