I'm not sure you'll find PageMaker faster. When I became editor of our
user group newsletter a year and a half ago, I used PageMaker for it
for a few months. It was unbearable, both speed and the way it works,
jiggling things around by hand. I switched to RSG and have been much 
happier in both regards. It may partially be a matter of personal
preferences.

If I'd had the kinds of problems with bugs and impertinent technical
support that others have related here, I might be much less happy
with it.

I've only seen one serious bug: graphs pasted in from KaleidaGraph
weren't cropped properly. I called Letraset, they explained they
were aware there was sometimes such a problem with old LaserWriters
(which I was using), they apologized and said they were working
on a fix. I don't know if they've fixed it, since we upgraded to
a LaserWriter Plus and the problem went away.

The newsletter has never exceeded 32 pages. Maybe RSG's buggier
with larger files.
