Thanks, Marc. I hope I can find time to look into it (though anyone else interested is welcome to test old packages and sift through debdiffs, too). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I downgraded and of course had the speed back then, but now i upgraded to squeeze and the slowdown is as horrible as before. also, this seems to be a very common issue, there are lots of reports about people having printing issues because gs takes a long time now, for ps that was fast to print before. it seems upstream thinks that this is a ubuntu/debian issue, and some people have reported that downloading and building upstream results in a fast ghostscript. I guess after so much time i just have to live with the 30+ times slowdown, as I don't have the time to investigate at the moment, but the slowdown is universal, for everything (whether it be a printed image, gnuplot output etc.). -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / schm...@schmorp.de -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
