Thanks to HP for illuminating some of the reasons the DeskWriter is
so swift.  I was frankly quite disappointing by the marketing hype
surrounding the DeskJet vs. DeskJet Plus, because it talked about
speed advantages "in certain cases" but really didn't address "average"
documents, nor spell out what cases had been optimized. I ended up
having these two models side by side, running what I felt were "typical"
usages, and the Plus showed around a 5% advantage (perhaps stop watch
error?).

Could we learn more about when Mode 3 compression is a winner? Does it help
with documents that are typical of rich output from Word, Draw or Paint?
