From article <39964@linus.UUCP>, by ted@mitre-bedford.ARPA (Edward J. Ede):
"...
" (300x300x8.5x11) = ~ 1 Megabyte.  You could do the page in passes, but
" that would require multiple interpretations of the PostScript.

Maybe you could do it in passes, but maybe you couldn't recalculate the
page fast enough to supply the print engine with data.  Does anyone know
how the "band device" referred to in the PS Reference Manual works?
Perhaps there's a way to avoid more than one full interpretation per
page and still get by with less than a full page buffer.
