I've noticed that both 21.2.38 and 21.2.39 have a problem when there is a
slow link like an ISDN line between the X Server and a copy of XEmacs
running on Solaris. Some operations (such as copy-primary-selection or
kill-line) transmit a lot more data than they should, around 30K. Other
similar operations (such as advertized-undo) are very fast and transmit
almost no data. I usually work with the Windows version of XEmacs and
don't know much about X or the use of it by XEmacs so I don't know what's
going on. I can send someone a trace of the traffic, but it should be easy
to reproduce since it happens even with when XEmacs is run with -vanilla.
I don't know when this started happening since I haven't built a Unix
version for a while. I'm also behind in my EMail so this may have been
discussed although I didn't see it in a quick scan. If it's an old topic,
I apologize.
