Summary: Use multiline scrolls.


     Emacs scrolls slowly on a Sun.  No, that's not a problem,
it's due to the (incredible) overhead of the Sun's (incredible)
display.  You pay a price for all those pixels.

     Yes, there is a known cure.  RMS extended the termcap
definitions a bit.  Here's my termcap:

     The indicated line is RMS's extensions.  These are multi-line
adds and deletes.  They take one parameter, like "cm".  This works
on v18 emacs, but I'm not sure about earlier versions.  I haven't
seen any standard program that gets messed up by this.
