The Program I've noticed the speed difference with is xlock (screen saver)
running swarm... on Linux its REALLY fast, and it kinda "Chuggs" on Free
BSD... the only thing I can think might be a problem is that the binaries
on FreeBSD are MUCH bigger than on Linux... (EG XF86_SVGA is 300+K larger
on FreeBSD's version... etc)
Any ideas?
Have you tried running xlock as root? I took a look at it once and
noticed that the swarm thing was fast when I started it as root but
slow when started by any other user.
