You did not mention that you had tried MacDraft.

I have found that MacDraft is significantly faster than MacDraw
for redrawing lots of objects. I have tried downloading some graphics
from our VAX via VersaTerm Pro which creates MacDraw documents,
and several which wer just too painful to work with in MacDraw were
tolerable in MacDraft. More than a few thousand lines is bad under either
program, even on a Mac II, so I end up sending the PostScript directly
to the LaserWriter from the Vax. So much for WSIWYG :-(.
