I, as of yet, could not find one for an X-Terminal.
If you use Pixmap's  (fastest), you will run out of memory.
I get very pleasing performace using Pixmaps on a SPARC, but
you have to run the sequence a few times to get it all loaded
up into Virtual Memory without swapping.

(Using home-grown code).
