I have a question regarding performance of twm on a Sparcstation 1:
	I am currently using 'twm' with the default resource
	file and found that creating new xterm windows takes an
	inordinate amount of time (on the order of 30 seconds).
	Other applications, when invoked, come up almost
	instantaneously.  Has someone else observed this behaviour
	and, if so, come up with a way to speed things up?

Any information would be helpful,

Tom

P.S.  I did try the same with other window managers (and no wm) and
in all cases xterms come up very quickly.  Perhaps it is a function of the
size of the twm resource file (which is pretty large, I admit?)
