- We just got WordPerfect 5.1X (The XWindows Version). This has to be
- the slowest X app I have ever seen in my life. Bag running OW3 with it.
- We had a newsletter running on an otherwise idle 40MByte IPX. It took
- 1 minute, 20 seconds to scroll between pages. Running X11R4 (or R5) speeds
- it up by an order of magnitude, but it is still a far cry from "zippy".
- Has anyone else experienced this?

- Opinionated and tunnel-visioned? Darn right. But then, my employer really
- doesn't know what I'm talking about anyway...
