I thought I'd put in my two cents about the resource manager. First of
all, I should say that I'm the person who designed and implemented it.
When I did the first implementation, I *knew* it was going to be slow,
in fact there are exponential (!) algorithms buried inside. Roughly
half of Xmh's startup time is due to the resource manager.

After working on the resource manager, we got the total startup time
for Xmh from roughly 11 seconds to around 6. The time spent in actual
resource manager database code is now negligible, the remaining
resource manager time is being spent in actually obtaining requested
resources from the server.

In conclusion: the (current) resource manager is a pig, we realize it,
and have fixed it. The toolkit on Decwrl is for demonstration purposes,
and the "real" toolkit will be on X11.

We're also working on the documentation... :-)

P.S. I'm glad you like it, Paul.
