> Subject: Shape extension is slooooooooooooooow > Maybe that's a bit unfair. Shape under HP-UX is slow. You're not alone in this experience. On a Sun-3 with the MIT sample server, I find shape to be very slow as well. I have a terminal emulator which I hacked on to make the window transparent (actually, nonexistent) where characters aren't. Scrolling is agonizing. From the looks of it, the server is clearing the whole window and generating Expose events every time it scrolls. To be more precise, *changing* shapes is very slow. Is this inherent in the extension or what? (No, this isn't crucial; the mod was just an exercise in using SHAPE.) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
