Message-ID: <14134@shamash.cdc.com> Date: 29 Sep 89 16:32:40 GMT Reply-To: pwp@shamash.UUCP (Pete Poorman - HOUFAC) Organization: Control Data Corporation, Arden Hills, MN. Lines: 10 Does anyone know how the Turbo Graphics option affects X-windows performance on a Personal IRIS? (For applications running locally -- not across a network.) I've heard that IRIX 3.2 provides a big improvement, but I'm looking for all I can get. I'm already planning a 20MHz CPU upgrade -- any idea how much that'll help? Is X CPU-bound or graphics-bound?? Thanks! --Pete Poorman
