I agree that a termcap that does not include ANY insert/delete capabilities
may work marginally faster on a window that is native to the SUN I am working
on.  I really don't see that significant of a difference in speed, though.

My situation is that I usually have windows on my screen that are remote
logins to other machines (SUNS and vaxes).  For this situation, the termcap
that contains the insert/delete is somewhat FASTER because of the overhead of
the ethernet traffic involved with rewriting the screen.  This is especially
true if using a window larger than the 34x80 default window size.
