Anyways, you wouldn't ->notice the slowdown. Seriously. Have you ever run Mach WITHOUT DP? ->No. Why? You can't. So how can you say the slowdown isn't that -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -You can bring up a NeXT machine in single user mode vs. multi-user mode. -In single user mode you don't load the window manager and you have a -Unix box with just a plain old command line. Or just telnet/rlogin/dialin to the machine. No DP there. I do it all the time. Makes a REAL NICE timesharing Unix box. BSD too. -- Gregory R.
