X-Important-Saying: Premature Optimization Is The Root Of All Evil. X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) To: sam-fans@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu Subject: X11R6? 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
