There are a few antialiased fonts, all derived from outline.

	echo /lib/font/bit/*/*.1

for ldepth-1 subfont files.

Asking page to reverse its image is one place in which the graphics
model gets in the way; the system gets very busy nattering back and
forth between the application and the graphics driver.  A similar
thing happens when loading fonts; on a slow line, rio takes a while
to respond when you cat a Japanese file.  The reason for your
`lots of random slow-downs' eludes me, though.  I do think that
getting hardware acceleration running on the voodoo3 (I'm pretty
sure no one's done the work) will help somewhat.  The system 
will surely feel zippier.  Anyone?  It's easy if you have the spec.
