It looks as if some things will run faster than 3 pages/minute.
Our little PostScript code for printing ASCII files just did 21 pages of
the LaserPrep at 5.5 pages/minute (in 10pt Courier on 12pt). (this is
NOT the Diablo simulation mode).  The LaserPrep file is a "typical"
program listing -- a fair bit of whitespace on the right side.
