Get hold of Ghostscript (2.1.1) which is an available for anonymous ftp
on prep.ai.mit.edu under:

	/pub/gnu/ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z
	/pub/gnu/ghostscript-2.1fonts.tar.Z

It includes an X device driver and is really quite fast!

It currently lacks a proper previewing interface with page turning etc.
But no doubt someone is working on one of these 8-).
