Ctr. Mtn Vw CA 94035 Lines: 60 A few weeks ago, Ralph Carmichael and I asked for a summary of PostScript benchmarks. Because of the lack of one, we posted John Sullivan's LaserDoctor.ps file as a simple test case. Basically it prints out the available fonts, the available memory and times the printing of a wheel of text. It was not meant as a benchmark but it was simple and short. Here is a summary of the results.
