You may well be right that X11 is the problem. In one test I did using stacks as tables, a console-based Rev app on Linux was 100x faster than using relational databases, even when the relational databases were configured to keep all their tables in memory.
However, I suspect the same kinds of speed difference would be found comparing PHP hash tables with relational databases (the performance of the Prevayler model is not so surprising in these circumstances). The problem for Rev is that there are many languages that can be used to provide console-based services. But like it or not, X11 is going to be the basic GUI that Rev has to work with on Linux. The interesting question is what has happened to the programming of the Rev GUI since RunRev took over development from Metacard. I was not a MC user, but since MC was primarily aimed at Unix GUIs, I cannot believe that the same kinds of problems were experienced by unix users.
