This one’s still basically unchanged. I just got 165 _XReply round-trip delays, with face realization color requests accounting for 60 of those, x_create_tip_frame initialization using “black” and “white” accounting for a dozen more, and other XParseColor or XAllocColor calls bringing it up to around 100 (maybe fewer than last time, by just a few); 38 XSync calls, almost all for error catching. The other ~20% is XQueryColors, XListFonts, XGetWindowProperty, and a few other calls that need responses.
