I recently had the fortune to witness a demonstration of Mac-X and I was
very surprised at the slooooooow speed of the server running on a MacIIfx!
Beside it was a 386 running the X server which comes with PCSA and the PC
was running several times faster than the Mac.  It didn't seem to help
if we set the Mac to monochrome either...  I'd love to see an explanation
for why Mac-X is such a pig.  (Given the circumstances, all I could really do
to test the performance was run ico.  Your mileage may vary.)
