I ran one chapter of a report through both scribe and the LaTeX
macros (the conversion was easy, by the way).  The demands made 
of the formatter were pretty much standard stuff:  several 
footnotes, frequent font changes, space for two figures.  No 
index entries.  The whole thing, including title page, TofC,
LofF amounted to 14 pages formatted.  The machine was a sun, 
the printer an imagen.  The following are from the 'time' command.
