    I just built X11R1 and am running it on a Sun 3/50.
    It runs very slowly (at least xterm does) in fact too
    slowly to actually use.

    Is the speed problem one with the Sun server implementation
    at this stage, or is the Microvax also slow? 

Neither seem particularly slow on a 1-bit frame buffer; it is indeed
slow on a Sun 8-bit frame buffer.  Could you perhaps give more precise
quantifications?
