Is there a limit on the number of bytes of obdata that can be sent
with a single call to XPutImage?

Under X10, several calls to XPixmapBitsPutZ were needed to draw
images in large windows without choking (at least on our Sun's).
I need to know: Can I safely send an entire image with one call?
or Is there a fixed number of bytes permitted per call? or Can the
number of bytes that can be sent be determined at run-time?

I've looked in both the Digital Press and the O'Reilly set for
this info.  Thank you in advance.
