Interestingly...I mentioned this to Nate offline.  IDL has a
"graphics_times" benchmark you can run, I'm sure Mike is familiar with it.
I ran it to compare the Xig server to the XSuSe server to an SGI O/2.

Without going into the details, the final results were the XSuSE server
ran in 22 seconds, the Xig in 13.5 and the O/2 in around 7.5.  The
greatest difference was in this test called "Hardware Fonts".  Both the
XSuSE and Xig servers spent around 7 seconds in this section alone.  What
it does is print random sequences of characters all over the display
window.  

The O/2 kicked it out in 0.15 seconds.
