   These people don't want all the extra overhead of the window manager,
which is not a small amount in both memory usage and cpu time.  I was told
by a sales rep. that 4Sight uses 4.5Mb. That is not small.  And if you
have to swap out to disk a lot that is going to slow things down a lot.
   Like I said before does 4Sight HAVE to be running.  Mex on the 3000's
doesn't HAVE to be running to use graphics.
