In printing a document consisting of a 5-page table, my W4W slows to a
crawl.  The output speed is approximately 1 page every 5 minutes.  My
configuration is a Gateway 2000 20Mhz 386, 4Mb memory, Windows 3.0,
W4W 1.1, and ATM 1.0 printing to a HP LaserJet IIP with 2.5Mb memory.
I am running Windows in 386-enhanced mode.  I tried increasing the
size of the ATM font cache, but this had no effect.  The table is all
in 1 font - 12pt Times Roman.

This slow rate is while word is printing into the queue (i.e. for 25
minutes I see the hour glass, nothing is being sent to the printer,
and I can't switch to other applications).  When it finally finishes
and the Print Manager begins to send the document to the printer,
things operate at normal speed.  The size of the print spool file is
only about 650K!

Printing of regular text works fine, though if a page-long table is
embedded in an otherwise normal document, the printing of that page
takes approximately 5 minutes.

Has anyone seen this or know why it is happening?
