System name:		test-rt
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R
Display type:		apa16
What were you trying to do?
	log in to the RT 6.4 test machine in W20.

What's wrong:
	It took 6 minutes to get a useful window.

What should have happened:
	It should take much less time.

	In my opinion, the RT at 4MB is not a reasonable platform for
Athena to support (this was/is true of the 6.3B release as well).  8MB
makes them a (much more) usable machine.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
