- Hello all,
- I had been playing with X for a while and I decided to download
- the sources to xfig. I compiled them and they work great. I just
- have one question tho. When I load one of the example files called
- roundboxes2.fig, the redraw takes about 15 seconds. This is running
- on a 386bsd equipped 486 33 Mhz with a STB Pwrgrph. This was not so
- alarming until I ran the program on another machine and sent the
- output to my display. The redraw was in less than a second.
- Okay I thought, too much stuff on my box with the server and the
- application running at the same time. No Problem. I then saw the
- same program with server running on an SCO box. The server and program
- were running on the same machine and the redraw was still less than
- a second. The version I have on my bsd box is 2.1.6 and the version
- on the SCO box was 2.1.4. The server I am using is the prebuilt one
- at agate. I compiled it before and things were faster, but I put
- "real partitioning" on my bsd box and now I dont have enough room
- to compile. What is my performance botleneck. Is the 386bsd system
- that much slower at running applications? Any help would be greatly
- appreciated.
