From: Rich Cohen 

There was a note about a DVI driver for the LaserWriter a while back that
quoted 3 pages/minute printing speed.  We have a little PostScript program
that runs on the LaserWriter and prints ASCII text files.  It produces
pages at around 3 pages/minute.  Sending straight ASCII text to the 
LaserWriter running in Diablo emulation mode produces pages at around
3 pages/minute.  All of these tests are for essentially full pages of
text.  So, my question is:  Has anyone run a LaserWriter faster than
3 pages/minute producing "average" pages of text?

(My measurements ignored the first page time, to avoid counting
font rasterization time.)
