Take any print engine you like and use the hardware in the LaserWriter
to drive it.  You will see very soon that the speed of the print engine
makes absolutely no difference in the number of pages per minute you
will see.  The cost for a print engine is connected with its speed;  the
electronics cost is very much a function of print speed.  I've noticed
that Adobe has hired a couple of compiler folks; I wonder why if they
really can support PostScript using the same electronics.
