This problem appeared on all our machines as soon as we installed ATM.
My impression was the W4W suddenly felt a need to think about the
whole document - such that if you left it for ten minutes, when you
came back it was up to speed. Although you must reselect your printer
setup after any change in the font-list, this doesn't seem to stop a
slow-up. What does work reliably is printing the document, or
print-previewing it. Your milage may vary.
