I am programming an application using the Motif Toolkit.  The
application runs on top of Open Windows.  When a user selects an option
from one of my pull down menus, the appropriate popup dialog widget
appears.  The first time I select a particular command (lets call it A)
the appropriate dialog widget appears quickly.  Subsequent selections
of command A results in the appropriate dialog widget appearing very
slowly.  I know Open Windows is slow, but this is ridiculous.
I want to know why this happens and if there is any way to fix it.

By the way I ran my application on top of mwm.  The problem I just
described does not happen.  However, I need to run my application
on Open Windows.

Thanks for the help.
