Is there a really fast way of displaying something like wave-forms with
NeWS?

We need to display records that are about 1k points each.  The various
tests I've run seem to show NeWS as quite a bit slower at the task than
various approaches within Sunview.

Basically I coded some traces up in Postscript and sent them along with
a simple window wrapper to psh.  It was mostly a bunch of lineto's.

Is there a faster way?  Is there a way to send binary data?
 
I need to be able to display and perhaps move and scale these traces
quickly.  I'd much rather use NeWS if possible ...

Thanks.
