Can anyone summarize the various X functions that result in server
memory being allocated (and their relative costs)?  We are running
out of server memory frequently with a modest number of windows
onscreen (maybe about 15).  My suspicion is that we are creating
more GCs than necessary and larger pixmaps than necessary but I 
may well be overlooking something.

We are using X11r2 under Ultrix and IBM-PC's as servers (running
PC-Xsight from Locus, Inc.).  ... also GNU C++ and InterViews ...

Thanks for any insights here.
