In X.V11R1/util/imake.includes/Sun.macros, commenting out the line that
says #define UseSunWindowsInServer and then re-building all of the
server makes the server much smaller (about half its previous size!)
for a very small loss in functionality.

Once you comment that feature out, you can't start the X server over
SunWindows, you have to exit SunWindows first. That's all. I know it's
documented that you CAN build the server this way, but nobody said how
much of a win it is. Before I did this the server and some applications
thrashed over memory pages on my Sun 3-140 with 4MB and SCSI disk.
