This is because the StyleWriter is rather brainless and relies on 
the CPU to do most of the work.  If you hook the StyleWriter up to
a fast CPU, the difference in performance is amazing.  In fact 
my recommendation is DeskWriter for a Plus/SE/Classic and 
StyleWriter for 68030 machines. 

One distinct advantage to the StyleWriter is the small (very small)
footprint.  Also, it feeds envelopes VERY well.
