We're running it on an HP 9000/837s serving 20 Xterminals.  We have not seen
this slowness you describe.  It is a very slick interface, but I will say
that it does pop a *lot* of windows to get things done.  Perhaps it is 
your X-Windows (you didn't give your environment) that is slow?

(No relationship to the Zcode folks, just a satisfied sys admin.)
