I should know a thing or two about rc with X, since I use it just about
1/2 of my waking hours (that's scary).
What do I do? I run rc -l in all my windows. Do I notice the slowdown?
No way! Let's see....
; time rc -l /dev/null
0.5 real 0.1 user 0.3 sys
That's not bad, but then again my .rcrc is not that extravagant in the
first place. I execute a single globally-available script which tells me
the machine type of my host, stty, and then I set variables and functions.
Oh, I also run "msgs" to see if there are any new system messages.
I could easily put in a 'tty' command, or set up $history to be something
involving $pid in this file, and it would work great with X.
Is there really a reason to have *another* "rc -l"-like mechanism?
