Would someone mind telling me why X386 is _so_ disk intensive. 
Whenever I scroll from one Xterm to another, it seems to take 
_forever_ because of all the disk access that is going on.

I am running on a  386-40 (AMD. of course)  and my unix partition
is on an 80MB maxtor IDE..  any clues as to why X386 is so slow?
