Thanks, this is the first response that would get at the specifics of
"why this and not that". The local machine with the slow xterm
display issue is a new iMac on which I wiped the disk prior to
install of Leopard and Developer Tools (and then Ben's subsequent X11
updates). So where would I look to find a missing reverse DNS
pointer? [Another small detail if it matters -- the system is
partitioned, with a System partition containing the OS and Dev.
Tools, and a Data partition containing the users' home directories
(i.e. a Users directory soft-linked to /Users)].

Interesting issue --but then why does it work OK from another
(slower) local machine connecting to the same remote host, or from
the suspect local machine connecting to a different remote host?
Then it likely means two things (if I am remembering properly):
1. The DNS problem is with the local machine, likely a missing
reverse DNS pointer from its IP back to its host name
2. The different remote host does not use ReverseMappingCheck

Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die.
