- It's not LocalTalk that's the bottleneck, surprisingly enough--it's the
- LaserWriter. I've taken 20 minutes to print a colour image in greyscale on a
- LaserWriter IINTX. The same image sent to a colour printer, like an NEC
- ColorMate PS or a RasterOps CorrectPrint, would print in 3-4 minutes at
- the most--also over a LocalTalk connection.
-
- You may also get the same sort of speedup from a current LaserWriter model.
