Know about the MIT Shm extension to X ?
if a local machine then use shared mem for talkng rather
than over sockets...
XFree86 4 will also have dga, a more direct faster interface to the
hardware,
a bit like directX under windows.
Theres a place on SGI which also talks about glx, using opengl
hardware access
via a window. NBot using a full screen like quake3 now.
