I have seen it do 5 second screen dumps. But what does it do with something like EasyDraw or Timeworks DTP? Do things which use GDOS to drive the laserprinter go any faster (Atari could sell a lot more systems if their ad went "What takes 45 minutes on brand X takes only 2 minutes on an ST". But does anyone have experience?
