I have a Sparcstation 1+ running Sun Os 4.03 and Openwindow 2.0.

My feeling is that X-applications (and I mean applications which use the
X server part) are quite slow.

Applications which need to create DYNAMICALLY a lot of widgets (e.g 2
or 3 hundred) seem to spend a lot of time both in the toolkit
and in the server.

I would like to understand if the slowness is caused basically by the
server implementation  or is also due to the structure of the Xt
toolkit.

How the application performance degrades when the number of widgets to
create DINAMICALLY is great?

Is anyone willing to provide comments?

Thank you
