Ok, I just tried it on redhat (PC) and speed for xlib is an enormous 
improvement over SDL. The intro on Space Quest 4 with SDL looks exactly 
the same concerning timing on OS X. Though I have X11 correctly 
installed on OS X with the developer package starting FreeSCI  with 
xlib results in it not finding its x window system.
I will need to check into that why that is so. It did not complain 
during compiling so it should have picked up the right X11 window 
libraries.
