Hi Performers!

We have got an "old" Indigo 2 High Impact. Due to some texture problems etc. we
recently installed the "Irix 5.3 All Indigo 2 IMPACT" operating system and also
some patches that were recomended on info-performer (1098, 1105 and 1157).

After the update our application runs much slower than before (it works fine on
our other high IMPACTs)

1. Are there any problems with the operating system or the patches above (on an
old machine)?
2. Are there any solutions to the problems?

The old high IMPACT has the following configuration:

> usr/gfx/gfxinfo
Graphics board 0 is "IMPACT" graphics.
        Managed (":0.0") 1280x1024
        2 GEs, 1 RE, 1 TRAM,
        HQ rev A, GE11 rev A, RE4 rev A, PP1 rev A, TE1 rev A
        MGRAS revision 2, RA revision 5
        VC3 rev A, Cmap rev D, MC rev C
        unknown, assuming 19" monitor

Why 2 GEs (instead of 1 on our other high IMPACTs)?
GE11 rev A (instead of rev B).
MGRAS revision 2 (instead of revision 3).
