I have an application which repaints quickly. My problem is that there
is a 2-3 second delay before receiving the first expose event. This
delay is not seen when repainting a xterm window. My application is
basically one window with 10 subwindows. I wouldn't expect that
computing exposures for 11 windows would need so much time. Also since
windows in X are meant to be "light weight objects" I wouldn't expect
that 11 windows would cause performance problems.

Does anyone know to what to attribute delays in exposure notification?
