Nope, local. Full xlsfonts is 0.36s for 12K fonts.
well, try using some utility to see what the X server traffic is. (i'm
sure there's some such utility but i'm not sure what)

nil, no idea why since it's vanilla source except for my time
instrumenting. In any case these tables being unchanging should be at

duh. it's only true on windows-nt. i think this is because it's really
