On a DS3100, I found it faster than dxpsview (the Display PS based thingmajig) for the demos I tried. Note that using a PostScript previewer to preview either TeX or troff output (which is frequently what people ask for PS previewers for) is not a good idea unless you have embedded PostScript in the document. Specialized TeX or troff previewers invariably do a better job. (xdvi, xtex or xditview, xproof, xtroff). Mark.
