Perhaps if you run troff on a 750, the LaserWriter is not a
bottleneck; but if you run TeX on an 8600, with an Ethernet interface
to an Imagen 8/300, the 8 ppm is most definitely the bottleneck.
(Incidentally, I have been told `Even on a loaded 750, imagen1
[my Imagen TeX driver] runs at several times 24 pages per minute.')
So while you may not need faster PostScript engines, rest assured
that somewhere, someone else does.
