does graphics accelerator speed up color windows on sun-4

We are contemplating buying a couple of sun 4/60's with color screens and
the GX graphics accelerator, but are hesitating a bit. We have an older
sun-4 without the accelerator, and find that doing window-related
operations (e.g. opening, moving, etc) is painfully slow, apparently
because there are so many bits to move. (We use primarily X windows, if
that matters.) Does anyone have experience with the GX accelerator? Does
it speed up the window operations appreciably?
Thanks.
