I've ran a test on a variety of programs and xfig is about 10 times
slower on an ibm xstation server (fully loaded memory) than a sun
xserver or an ncr xterminal.  I did run the window manager (mwm) on
a remote host in all cases.

Any solve this one before?  (note that most programs are only 2-5 times
as slow.
