And either one is an enormous hog compared to Athena widgets. (This is something of an accomplishment, since people have been complaining about the efficiency of Xt since it was first released nearly 20 years ago. All the credit goes to Gordon Moore: X was slow on a 1-MIPS MicroVAX or Sun-2 workstation.) I spend almost all of my time in two applications: xterm and emacs. Both once set records for obscene memory consumption on an earlier generation of systems. -GAWollman _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
