That's using a 14400 link, with modem compression enabled, with VJ header compression. The link was not totally idle though. Seems xcalc actually creates a lot of X11 elements, i think something like an xterm starts up much faster. xcalc is almost as slow as an Emacs in startup. Fortunately, once they are started, they run fast enough to be usable. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
