- No. Way.
-
- People used to complain that X386 under Linux had slow scrolling
- speed. It was about 2-3 times faster than OS/2 windows. Then it got
- about 3x faster in a single release.
-
- My windows scrolled faster on the 16-bit GRE than they do under the
- 32-bit GRE. And they were slower under the 16-bit than the "slow"
- X386 windows.
-
- I'm running on a 33 MHz LocalBus 486DX with an ET4000, and the speed
- STILL sucks. The WHOLE POINT of having a coprocessed video card that
- can scroll screen regions in hardware is to do fast scrolling without
- having to repaint the entire window.
-
- Whoever wrote that scrolling code really dropped the ball. It is NOT
- my hardware.
