I am also experiencing the same slowness using the default system.fvwm2rc
configuration file on an Ultra 60 with Solaris 8 and the latest patches
from patchpro.
I've tried both gcc 3.2.3 and Sun's forte 7 C compiler with the same
result; 2.5.7 is fast; both 2.5.8 and 2.5.9 are dog slow by comparison.
$ fvwm-config -v
2.5.9
$ fvwm-config -s
gettext
gtk
gdk-imlib
iconv
perllib
png
readline
rplay
shape
shm
sm
xpm
The make still fails on the debian directory was well. I have to remove
the debian directory from the SUBDIRS variable of the top level Makefile
for the compile to complete successfully;

This problem first appeared in the 2.5.8 release tarball.
