Well, please don't paint us all with the same brush!  Our PHIGS runs
quite fast -- fast enough to max out some of the GPC benchmarks!!
Many people seem to have trouble saying the words 'standards' and
'performance' in the same breath, but we are making them eat those
words!  My only guess is that you are using some form of a software
renderer, which is never as fast as accelerated graphics through
hardware.

Someone might be able to help you if you indicated:

    Vendor
    Hardware platform:
	CPU
	Memory
	Graphics Accelerator, if any
    Software Release: 2.0?

etc.
