- From the bottom of the mapcolor(3G) man page:
-
- In IRIX 4.0, mapcolor is implemented as an emulation layer on top of the
- request XStoreColors. In order to avoid a serious degradation in perfor-
- mance, mapcolor requests are buffered and only sent to the window server
- when an input routine (e.g. qtest) or gflush is called.
-
- In situations where the immediate results of mapcolor are more important
- than speed, there is a glcompat call to disable this behavior.
