	I am about to start a short investigation to answer the following:

	Suppose that the X server could process request in zero time.
	Suppose that the client can generate the request in zero time.
	What would be the maximum obtainable xstones over ethernet?


	I am curious if anyone has done this or has opinions on this.
	I know lots of people will write to ask what the question is.
	Well, it is a crude attempt at the following:  How fast can
	one make a network station before one runs in to the network 
	bandwidth limitation - specially when the operations are output
	intensive.

	I will summarize the responses if there is interest.
