Even though a DeskWriter is generally CPU bound on a MacPlus, it is still
faster than the DeskJet or DeskJet Plus solutions for the Mac.   The only
solution that comes close to DeskWriter's performance is Orange Micro's new
Grappler LX product on a DeskJet Plus.  The only other case is when the
built in fonts of the DeskJet are used (ugh).
