I am running smp, 4.0-current, as of Mon Feb 15 03:34:29 PST 1999.

Printing is very slow.  I have a HP LaserJet III attached to lpt0.
Printing in the pcl, text, mode is slower than I expect.  Printing in
the postscipt mode is extremely slow.  A 30K postscript file has been
OVER 5 minutes and is not finished!

From dmesg:
