Dear Till,
I'am very sorry to bother you again.
We are still working hard to looking for cause why Ubuntu 16.04 printing
performance slowdown.
We doing the investigation whether GhostScript slowdown the printing
performance with GhostScript Developer. But they figure out that
GhostScript affected very small.
we use the below command to test many version ghostscript's printing
performance on Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 14.04.
"./gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=pxlcolor
-r600x600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=/dev/null sample.pdf"
We think that CUPS may be the key to slowdown the printing performance.
Below is our research on CUPS process:
1. We use a script tool (print_sample.sh) to simulate printing many jobs
(10 and 20) in the one time.
2. Satistics the print time of each print round jobs by the method of
counting the time from “Adding start banner page "none".” To “Job completed.”
The result (test_cases_detail_times.xlsx) shows that Ubuntu 16.04 cost
almost twice time then Ubuntu 14.04.
We are not able to research deeper why Ubuntu 16.04 slowdown. So we
appreciate that CUPS can do the investigation why 16.04's printing
performance slowdown.

Test Sample File: \log\sample.pdf
Test Detail Time: \log\test_cases_detail_times.xlsx

Test Driver:
Driver carry by Ubuntu14.04 and Ubuntu16.04 itself :”Ricoh MP C5503 PXL”
We test many commercial’s drivers (below), it shows that other drivers(use
ghostsrcipt) have the similar slower phenomenon:
HP Color LaserJet 2500 Foomatic/pxlcolor
HP Color LaserJet 3600 Foomatic/pxljr
Brother HL-7050 Foomatic/pxlmono
Brother MFC9840CDW Foomatic/pxlcolor
