Is it me or does anyone else out there notice how slow the Motif text widget
is?  I can type 2 to 3 lines of text before the display finish updating half
the line.  What can I do to speed up the performance?  I am currently running
Motif 1.1 on a 386 16MHZ with 6 Megs of memory.  I notice a lot of disk swaps,
is this why it is so slow, do I need more memory?
