Summary:

I am running gnuemacs 18.52 under X10, on an HP-UX 825 system.
Gnuemacs is talking directy to the X server. Sometimes the refresh
of the window is really fast (i.e. less than 1 second), other times it
slowly rolls down the screen (about 4 seconds).

Has anybody observered this behavior? Does anybody know a fix?
It looks like something in the communication between X and gnuemacs
is causing much slower transmission, or maybe more overhead
with each transmission. Typically, if I do

	xinit gnuemacs

I get fast refresh, but if I start gnuemacs along with my other
normal windows, I get slow refresh, even if I kill all other
windows, just leaving gnuemacs.

Any clues??
