Yes, try using xscope (the X11 protocol decoder).  It will greatly
slow down executition of X clients.  It should be part of 4.0.x IRIX
and you can read the manual page to learn how to use it.

xscope sits between an X client and server decoding the X11 protocol
(in the process slowing down the conversation).

And if that doesn't slow it down enough, you can always chain multiple
xscopes together:

	X(Indigo) <--> xscope <--> xscope ... <--> client
