To keep it in perspective, I'll mention that CJK does seem to take a little longer to print. http://moto.debian.org.tw/viewtopic.php?t=2751 takes a full minute to pop out. Not quite Tony's five minutes (that's why I wanted to ask about the processor he uses), but can we say it's reasonable to ask Chinese users to wait a minute for their printout? The default postscript driver spits it out pretty much straight away. But the default output is broken (shows empty boxes - the reason why I use Xprint). That would be why Tony is asking for these tweaks, so that the default driver does not spit out empty boxes, while producing the pages in a much faster time than Xprint does.
