Has anyone done comparitive tests of SunPHIGS vs. other PHIGS implementations
on the Sun platform. I have been using FIGARO (from Template) which has been a
nightmare without any C language bindings. I am switching over to SunPHIGS next
month (which is implemented in C) but would like to know how well it performs
(i.e. is it optimized for the Sun), and if it is easy to mix SunView primitives
and SunPHIGS graphics primitives on the same display, e.g. I'd much rather use
the Sun mouse functions on a display canvas.

Thanks in advance.
