Working with the new version of X (XV11R2), I am *disappointed* in the
response time of window operations.  My questions are :

    Are window operations sent across the network, even when
    the destination machine is the same as the source?

    Is there a way to optimize these window operations, either
    batching them or not sending them on the network at all?

For example, when using Xtk, video inverting about 30 Command (Button)
Widgets takes about 7 seconds!!!!!
