   I am the de facto maintainer of gnu emacs on a Sun workstations
(ie if I want it, I have to make it happen). I am NOT by any stretch
ot the imagination a unix weenie(I am getting better ;}).

 Here is the problem. When it becomes time to scroll the scrolling
takes about half an hour - the mode line slowly slides up the 
screen (whether or not I am in Suntools) and the window slowly
refills - if I still smoked I could have a butt while I waited.

  Is there some incantation I could use (the problem does
not exist if I login on a vt100(220 etc) only on the console)
to fix this. Bear in mind with your replies that I am but a
grasshopper. Esoteric Unixisms are only slightly more intelligible
to me than runes.
