Maybe, that is one difference we use pure java GUI environment.  I see a
big difference between using a three-head system versus a six-head
system.  So, I wanted to gain some performance by trying to get the
Xinerama effect via hardware.  
Maybe, what I really need to do is to throw more CPU and memory at the
Linux box instead.
