Janice, It's tied up with the inner working of the "Adobe PDF Port" that the AdobePDF printer instance is connected to by default. This process is works in the background (possibly a low-priority on some systems), generates a temporary postscript file, has to wake up Distiller and get it to process the temp ps file using the specified joboptions, and then does some housekeeping afterwards. I too have found that this process can be up to 100x slower than simply printing to the file when the AdobePDF printer instance is reconnected to the FILE: port. Functionally, using watched folders in Distiller will give you the same result quicker, in my opinion, than the Save AS PDF functionality (which has always been a kludge to placate users who want one-click results).
