Ten to twelve minutes to lay out a single page?  Using what?
I can't believe anything is that slow, on any machine!  If
something takes a minute a page, I get mighty upset; I expect
most things to run at at least four pages a minute.  A simple
eighty page report would take thirteen *hours* to print at
10 minutes a page!  What gives?
