Greetings. I've been wondering if X11R6 has enough new stuff / performance
enhancements to be worth the switch? I have a Sun IPC (low end sparc) at
home with X11R5 fully patched (NOT OpenWindoze), and the performance is OK.
Is R6 worth the trouble to get, compile overnight, rebuild sam/9term/9wm,
and in general switch? I have the latest gcc, if that makes a difference
in the performance.
Thanks,
Arnold

It's definately bigger and not noticably faster.
The most concrete advantages are that the fonts are somewhat nicer and
the font server works a little better, and it supports the Sun type 5
keyboard properly. (Properly means all the keys have keysyms bound,
and there are keysyms like SunXK_VideoLowerBrightness to go with the
new keys.)

How bored are you feeling? :-)
