Is the speed of printing for the NTX printer governed by how fast the
print engine can write the postscript image (and interpret the postscript file),
or is there a bottleneck with the speed of the localtalk connection?

Has any work been done on directly connecting a Laserwriter to ethernet and
have it communicate using EtherTalk ??? (is this possible ?? :-)
