I have been asked by another group here at boeing to provide
timing and sizing data for X Windows and Phigs running on a Sun
platform.

The group is planning to do some real time data analysis and display
on Sun Sparc 1+ workstations. The environment consists of Sun Phigs running
on top of Sun's Xview which of course runs on the X Windows protocol. 

I thought they would be crazy to do real time stuff on a Phigs - Xview - X 
stack on a 1+ but I would like to fine something to bolster my gut
feeling. I think that if they expect any sort of real time performance, they
might as well do Pixrect (grapthic driver) calls and bypass all of the
Phigs - Xview - X junk to display the real time data.

Have any of you attempted real time stuff on Phigs and Xview? Do any of
you know where I could send these guys to get some data?

Thanks!!
