CUPS Resource Utilization on Dapper

[L. Mark Stone]

Previously ran SuSE, which used a lower version number of CUPS, as well
as the Foomatic, not the Gutenberg driver sets.  Running Dapper on an
IBM R52 laptop, printing via IPP to a SuSE 10 CUPS server.

Basically, Dapper takes a long time to prepare a print job prior to
sending it off to the print server.  The print jobs come out fine, but
CPU utilization is pegged at 100% for minutes before the job is sent off
to the print server.

For example, an 18-page OOo document with some graphics has been in
processing for 16 minutes before it was finally sent off to the printer.
Printing this same doc from the SUSE 10 print server directly (which
granted has a slightly faster CPU) took less than a minute.

No errors in the Dapper logs, and top just shows the rasterization
binary called by the cups daemon using 95+% of the CPU.

Any tips for speeding things up here?

TIA,
Mark
