I can take a look at it.

|
| The word seems to be that X11 R5 has most of this same code as X386 (R4)
| but that mit replaced the assembler with 'C' causing a substantial
| loss of performance. Thus, it looks like R4 may be the way to go,
|

Depends on what VGA cards. According to the author of SpeedUp for R5,
which is for ET4000 only and has a fixed resolution, it is 30% - 80%
than R4.
