Well, on my twin-400MHz-Celeron box Argo runs like a snail and seems
pretty flaky. But that's after only a few minutes with it. And no
doubt there are usage tweaks that one could come to grips with.

There's my ColdFrame at http://www.pushface.org/coldframe/, someone
contributed one for the Dia diagramming package, and Pat Rogers made
one for PragSoft(?)'s UML Studio (which you get to pay for).
