This is bologna!  Laser printers are fast, if all you want to do is what
other printers can do.  i.e. text and low res graphics.

If you want to 'take advantage' of the capabilities then it slows down.

There is however, an advertising technique which make them sound even
faster than they actually are.  It's "n pages per minute".
A 10 page per minute laser printer can print 10 copies of the same
page in one minute.  That does not include transmission time or page
layout time.
