I happen work on setting up OpenWindow(R) for our SPARC stations lately.    
Honestly, if you are "speed craving" then I would guess you will "hate"
Open Look even more.  Man, this thing is slow loading and so Mac-looking
I was shocked!  Even a SPARC 2 can't help much and we are talking about
serious MIPS available already!

A plain X + twm is fine enough to me.  Lean and mean <- key!
