A co-worker uses his Macintosh as an Xterminal to access some Sun
Sparcs.  He uses a server which he feels is superior to MacX, but it
is still pretty slow sometimes.  I told him how nice epoch is under X,
but he has a peculiar problem with it.  Xemacs runs fine, but
epoch-3.2 (patch 2, I think) is very slooow on response.  It lags
behind a fast typist by several characters.  This is a comparison
between xemacs and epoch running on the same SPARC, same network, same
time.  

What does epoch-3.2 do that is so different from xemacs inside the
X-server?  Is this a bug, or just a side effect of fancier display
capabilities?
