Summary:slow!!!

Hello, I'm running Young's draw progarm with modifications
on a VAX 2000 at MIT(X11R3). In the rubberbanding of
circles, the drawing is incredibly slow for the UNFILLED
circle. Th Fill circle is slow, but what i expected. The
ONLY differnce in the code is one calls XDrawArc, the other
calls XFillArc. Is thera a problem/differnce in the XDrawArc
code. It takes seconds to follow the mouse around
in the rubber banding phase. The thinh that really bugs me
is that the filled circle is faster??!! Any help would be
greatly appreciated! Anyone experience the same problem(at MIT?)?
