As you may have already noticed, the Carbon version is much slower
than the X11 version for this example.  The reason is that the X
Resource Manager emulation function consumes some short-lived objects
for each query, and a number of calls of this function causes frequent
GCs.

I installed some changes for this problem.  Frame creation is still
slow, but should be better than before.
