Well, I just tried the -current version and it felt noticeably slower
than the version I'm usually running (built 29 Nov 2002), even when
using 256 colors.  It's not unusable, just slower than before - so for

I use rdesktop on a NetBSD 1.6 system and start it with

  rdesktop -k sv -g 1274x996 host
