hahaha, no it's not faster than most suns - a p3 @ 700Mhz is slower than
a sparc @ 250Mhz, because x86 wastes so many clock cycles. Also sparc
chips are multstreaming and can do many more operations per clock. =)

If you didn't change your X server or libs, then check your BIOS
settings and make sure you're not using something that would lag
refresh. It's also possible you enabled something foo in APM when you
recompiled your kernel.
