If you haven't seen it, #718895 at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718895 might be of interest. Both PDFs print with a Generic PostScript driver and the default renderer in under 20 seconds on my printer. I had not previously fully appreciated the effect a default default-testpage.pdf produced by Cairo would have on rendering time, PS file size and printing time.
