OK. I will give that a try, liking statically would be better for my  
purposes.

Using --enable-xlib-xrender does seem to do the trick on my mac  
platform. Thanks, Andrea! Building libXrender from source on the  
CentOS platform is a temporary roadblock for testing in that  
environment. I will keep pecking at it and make sure that the dreadful  
slowness is completely gone. I really appreciate the fast feedback to  
get me moving forward again...
