Oh come on. The only slow thing I noticed was program startup. I have no idea
why it takes so long to launch a program, but once it's up it's zippy. Where
Sun drags a window by dragging a crosshatch outline (much like the Amiga)
NeXT manages to drag the whole window in real time. Other actions are similarly
quick.

It's as fast as any Sun running X.
