I am posting this message for one of my co-workers, Bill Keezer, who
doesn't have easy access to the news service. Bill has the
responsiblity to look into the performance asspects of both TeX and
the various DVI drivers.
Bill would appreciate if you could send your information to him
directly. He can be reached at:

-------------------------- Bill's Message -------------------------------
We are considering the use of TEX for print delivery, but would like
information on the performance of TEX and its post-processors to help size the
system.
Specifically we are interested in
1) the throughput, eg., char/sec, sec/page or pages/min, in whatever
measure you have it.
2) the CPU consumption for a given amount of output. This would
require knowing what platform it was measured on.
3) memory utilization &/or requirements if available.
4) what print the post-processor is generating for.
Since this is a sizing/feasibility type of information requirement, high
precision is not necessary.
If desired, I will gladly reply with a high-level summary, once the data is
collected and analysed.
Thank you for your assistance.
