I think it doesn't happen with upstream ghostscript. I seem to remember installing a compiled-from-source ghostscript on a friend's machine fixed the delay. I think the bug is in ubuntu's version. I haven't got the time to test this at the moment (on work computers I cannot install custom stuff). But it might explain ghostscript's reaction.
disclaimer: It has been a while and I cannot remember if I installed AFPL or GPL ghostscript. I might be the bug is in the GPL version but not the AFPL version. Th AFPL version is fast, that's for sure. -- slow photo printing since upgrading Feisty to Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157044 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
