On a 2007 MacBook Pro, groff would produce a 900-page manual with a few graphics in 2-3 minutes. That was two groff runs to get cross-refs right, including index generation, followed by a ps2pdf run. More or larger graphics affect the generation time more than the page count. So any non-netbook, five years old or less, will perform pretty well with groff. Unless you’re Deri James and doing batch runs of half a million pages. :-D —Larry
