"By way of contrast to the public domain "dvi2ps" program, Textset's
DVILASER/PS produces average printed pages at the rate of 20 seconds
per page on an Apple LaserWriter."

In any case, people should not be proud of getting 3 pages
per minute out of an 8 page per minute engine, especially for
text.....(in fairness, the authors of dvi2ps have here
observed that they have not tried to optimize). For TeX a
nice measure might be the time to print the entire TeX manual
as a single job. In all likelyhood, as per discussion here, to
make this work with downloaded fonts will end up requiring
characters to be loaded more than once when the printer runs out
of VM.
