Yes, Read command is much faster (especially if there are thousand of
Style lines) than doing the same by sending one command after another,
because it does many updates only at the end unless there is UpdateStyles
command in the middle.
For such task it is better to use "FvwmPerl --preprocess fvwmrc.ppp" (when
I finish it) that will work just like FvwmCpp or FvwmM4, but embed perl.
Another solutions would be to use your module to write to a file and then
send one Read command. Or create a function from all these commands by
prepending "+ I " and then send a command to execute that function.
I didn't test this, but this should be much faster than sending thousand
commands as is.
