I have been trying to get an explanation for awhile. I have large
motif-based application, which we would love to make available to all
of our Macintosh users on campus, but it is way to slow.  Like 5-10
seconds to pull down a menu, 10 seconds minimum to redraw an entire
window.

Has anybody had any experience with eXodus from White Pine? Is it any
better?
