I believe that it is best to turn the optimizer off for everything.

Set Foreground and Background resources in your .Xresources (or whatever you
use; I'll send a little tutorial separately) or use the -fg and -bg command
line switches on most programs.

You get patches by sending mail to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu as follows:

	%  mail xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu
	Subject:  help
	path email-path-back-to-you
	^D

The email-path-back-to-you line is optional; if you don't trust your mailer to
put a valid return path in your message, then give it.  It will then send you
back a message describing how to use the archive server.  Then type

	%  mail xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu
	Subject:  index fixes
	path email-path-back-to-you
	^D

There are patches available via anonymous ftp from expo as
contrib/PURDUE-speedups.shar.
