   Do you HAVE to use the window manager on the 4D's? On the 3000's
you don't have to have it running. We have a few programs that require
MEX not be running.  I hear 4Sight requires 4.5Mb to run, which doesn't
give you any memory left to run applications on an 8Mb system. Which is
the base line system SGI sends you.
   David Rogers how much memory do you have?  If it is only 8Mb, then
that is probably why things run so slowly.  Try adding at LEAST another
4Mb, better yet fill the machine.  That SHOULD give you a dramatic
improvement, so I have been told.
