Comment (by jlnance):

 The xmon dump contains a lot of blocks of the form:

 {{{Client 4 --> 11932 bytes
          ............REQUEST: PutImage
          ............REQUEST: SetClipRectangles
          ............REQUEST: GetImage
                                         11900 bytes<-- Server 5
                                  ..............REPLY: GetImage
 Client 4 --> 11912 bytes
          ............REQUEST: PutImage
          ............REQUEST: GetImage
                                         11900 bytes<-- Server 5
                                  ..............REPLY: GetImage
 }}}

 Where it appears that perhaps the code is sending and image to the X
 server and then reading it back.  Perhaps this could be avoided by
 writing to pixmaps instead of the screen, and then dumping the pixmaps
 when we were done with drawing?
