What do you think?
Correct me if I have lost sight of the essential point of this report, but it seems to come down to "Printing a test page on an HP Laserjet is very slow". If the slowness is mainly to do with a buggy PostScript interpreter on the printer I wouldn't see that as the responsibily of cups-filters. In general there is a way round it by changing the renderer but maybe there is a case (wishlist) for changing default-testpage.pdf to something which does not produce such large PS files with pdftops. Most of my testing has been conducted over the network with a socket connection and I experience the same slowness as with the USB backend.
