Hello all,
I had been playing with X for a while and I decided to download
the sources to xfig. I compiled them and they work great. I just
have one question tho. When I load one of the example files called
roundboxes2.fig, the redraw takes about 15 seconds. This is running
on a 386bsd equipped 486 33 Mhz with a STB Pwrgrph. This was not so
alarming until I ran the program on another machine and sent the
output to my display. The redraw was in less than a second.
Okay I thought, too much stuff on my box with the server and the
application running at the same time. No Problem. I then saw the
same program with server running on an SCO box. The server and program
were running on the same machine and the redraw was still less than
a second. The version I have on my bsd box is 2.1.6 and the version
on the SCO box was 2.1.4. The server I am using is the prebuilt one
at agate. I compiled it before and things were faster, but I put
"real partitioning" on my bsd box and now I dont have enough room
to compile. What is my performance botleneck. Is the 386bsd system
that much slower at running applications? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
