OK.  That would be the planes.  I don't too much there yet, but the ones 
that are there overlap each other.

What is that?  I don't know.

Yep. Is lesstif any different, speed-wise?  Oh, I am using KDE 3.5 
desktop - if that has any bearing.

Back around Christmas you sent me some fixes for the large number of 
rats that I had (around 7000, I think).  PCB bombed with all the rats. 
Your patch fixed it up.

Also, my drawing space is large - around 40" X 50".  That was just 
required to get all the parts to disperse in some reasonable fashion. 
Eventually, I hope to shrink this monster considerably.  Any chance the 
size of the board has anything to do with it?
