Precisely why we still run X10R4 (although I hear that X11R4 is faster
on Suns that previous X11 revs). Anyway, when you're used to getting
215K baud (on a Sparcstation), it's kind of difficult to get used to
the inferior performnace of X11.

P.S. We just checked and we get 342K baud when using the nil2 font...
