   As I wrote to Greg (but forgot to copy the release team), My work
   entails periods of working on my Athena workstation, interspersed
   with periods on the telephone, working on my Mac, talking with
   people, checking through written material, etc.  I frequently want
   to turn back to my workstation either to work for an extended
   period of time, or just to check out a piece of email, check
   something on the Web, or look up an email address, and it's very
   annoying to have to wait for what seems like an eternity (although
   I know it's only 10 seconds) while I wait for the screen to warm
   up.  I'll try 'xset s off' as Greg has suggested.

I see now; this in combination with Bill's email to Sun makes
excellent sense to me; I as well would find it maximally annoying.
