I have a Decstation 5000/200PX and I'm trying to use Xtm2d, but I am
bitterly disappointed.  So far I have had the server hang about 3 times
a day.   I've also discovered that several applications run REALLY
slowly -- its as if the server is paging for about a minute (yes I mean
a minute) before any actions occur.  I've checked and there is no
significant disk activity -- the server just seems to be very slow on
some operations.  The same applications run very well on my B/W
decstation 3100, using either DEC or MIT servers.

Have I installed something incorrectly (if I have, then a loaner machine
from Dec had the same problem).   Is there any other X server I can use.
 I'm finding it very hard to get any work done on this machine.
