performance question

this machine: NVidia Riva TNT model 64
other machine: is indeed some form of ATI. I will need to investigate that.

on this machine, performance still isn't snappy.  Redraws don't take as 
long but that's what I expect with a machine that's twice as fast as the 
other.  I do not have any forms of personal firewalls or anything else 
installed on the stack.  I was deliberately keeping this machine as 
naked as possible because background processes that affect X11 also seem 
to affect speech recognition performance and accuracy.

one thing I also should have mentioned which is that I am tunneling X11 
connections through ssh because the machine I am working on is on my DMZ 
which prevents direct connections.  I didn't think to mention this 
originally because machines I use on the same network aren't 
significantly faster.
