    I just checked, and the (X11R3) xsun running on my 3/50 is 520K, with
    less than 200K resident.  This isn't bad (still too fat, but not bad).

The R4 server is significantly smaller in data size than the R3 server, at
least in my experience.  It's a little larger in text size (about 20%); I
haven't analyzed what percentage of that is from increased functionality.

    I expect the X servers from MIT to be a bit big, because they are
    demonstrations of new ideas, with size a low concern,

On the contrary, data size was a major concern for the R4 server.
