Someone told me that when using 'xtex' via a 9600 baud slip connection
to an NCD X terminal, it appears (by the way the output looks & timing
etc) that all the characters (draw with XDrawString) are sent to the X
terminal and clipped at the terminal, not by the xtex client.

I.e. with a 2column TeX document & with part of the xtex preview
window obscured (using a ViewPort), you see the left column drawn and
then the right. There's a time delay such that it looks like the
terminal is receiving the text for the non-visible portion of the window.

Does this make sense? Seems kind of silly when connected to via 9600
baud modem.
