couldn't reach the original author. Please direct bug-reprots etc.. to
me.

I've gone to great lengths to attempt to speed up the handling from the
previous versions. This version has very little refresh events and depends
greatly on x's backingstore and xevent handling.
When root-tail starts up xevent handling is turned on for the root window and
all exposed areas of the root get cached, as windows move and more of the
background is exposed it too gets added to x's cache, only when an uncahced
area of the background changes will rt refresh. This means that if you want the best performace i recommend loading rt before anything else is loaded in order
to allow for proper caching.
If anyone can fix this or speed up the program more please email me patches.
