I've done some playing around with printer drivers, and it's true that 
certain combinations of output sizes make things very slow.  Unfortunately,
I've found out little that can be easily passed on.
I gave some thought to re-writing the printer.driver, but it's actually 
a pretty complex piece of code, and it's not clear that rewriting it for 
performance alone is worth it.  There's some extra function I'd like to see
in it as well, and perhaps when I've thought my way through all of that,
I'll take a run at it.

In any case, I'm about to leave the net for several months, so I guess I
won't have anything of interest for some time to come.
