email to me, and I'll summarize if there's any interest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When running Emacs 18.55 not as an X11 client (i.e. in a regular
terminal session) all is fine, but when it's run as an X client, Emacs
turns extremely slow.

Emacs is run off VMS 5.5-1 and the display is being opened on a
Tektronics X terminal which talks to the VAX over DECnet.

This is not a problem when emacs is run within an xterm or DECterm
window.

Any clues as to why it slows down so much under X?

	Thanks,
