In my case I was able to print a larger pdf
(~700k, 23 pages) reasonably quickly by performing
the following two steps before initiating the print job:
1) Close firefox and a few chromium tabs to free up as much
memory as possible. In my case there was about 150M of
RAM free with another 300M cached and in buffers.
2) Followed the instructions in the cups-filters README
(/usr/share/doc/cups-filters/README.txt.gz) re:
setting the default pdftops renderer to pdftops.
GS still got invoked by pdftops I think, but with the
larger amount of free RAM available it was able to
start up without delay (before a swap storm was occurring).
