I wrote a program called GROT, which rotated a grob +/- 90 degrees at your
request.  I wrote it in user language, intending to put it in my book.  It
was so embarrassingly slow that I threw the code away and in its place I
use the program 

     << ROTATE >>

where 'ROTATE' is a very fast, machine-code command in Jim Donnelly's Toolkit.
I highly recommend it.
