How much does it cost to run X11 under SunView?

It seems that, to a naive user accustomed to using SunView, it is not
unreasonable to try to run X11 while within the SunView environment.
In order to support this sort of usage, I defined the
UseSunWindowsInServer macro in the sun.cf file.  As the world shifts
away from SunView, I wonder how much of a penalty the raw X11 users are
paying for the naive users to use X11-within-SunView.

Do anyone have a handle on this cost?

If I decided to support both usages, would it require anything more
than 2 Xsun programs (Xsun.sunview and Xsun.nosunview) and some logic
in startx to pick the correct server?
