That is not our experience. Running X11R5 or Openwindows 3.2 under Solaris 2.2 is about as fast as running on a SunOS 4.x machine. Our users claim that Classics/LX are faster than SS2 class machines. Did you manager have only 16MB of memory? It may be that he's trashing because he has less memory now or because Solaris 2.2 requires a bit (not a lot) more memory. Solaris 2.2 is slow when it comes to context switching. Much slower than SunOS 4.1.x. Casper
