- I administer a site that has (4) Sun 670MP servers and 80 NCD Xterminals.
- For some unknown reason we are using WordPerfect 5.1 running XDM/X/OW/etc.
- Performance SUCKS! I can't believe WordPerfect has the balls to sell us
- such a PITIFUL piece of software. SERIOUSLY! I do mean this. There has been
- lots of talk about returning it and demanding a refund. Performance is
- VERY VERY VERY PITIFUL. I don't think its cause it can't be done its simply
- that WP didn't hire some swift X hackers. Worst problem is that when you
- get to the bottom of the page WP then re-paints the whole window and there
- is MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR lag. IMHO WP5.1 for Unix is the biggest and best kludge
- around. Any other WP5.1 user out there? Any one happy?
