PostScript's handling of bit images is not so bad.  Transmitting a bit
image across a 9600 baud line can take a long time.  Since the serial
port is used, the image is represented as hexadecimal, which of course
doubles the transmission time.  PostScript provides a completely
general mechanism to print bit images, and it works fine for lots of
people.  What about is "so incredibly poor?"  What would you like to 
see it do differently?

Just curious,
