Hi all,
	It's me again. This time I'm offering you the results from my
PostScript Processing Speed Test (v3.1). As you will be able to see, much
information is missing. This is because persons who sent me the results
had differing views as to what was important to report. None the less, I
thank all for your replies, without them, I wouldn't have any of this.

	I would like for anyone who can supply me with additional info
on the printers/devices here to do so. Also If you see your printer with
different values, it is probably because you have more/less RAM, a more
recent version of PS, etc... PLEASE LET ME KNOW of these differences.
Also, when sending in results, please include all information, even if you 
think it is not necessary. For example, don't say "on line 22, the fourth
character should be ....". You get the idea.

	If sending correction info OR new info, please include all data;
i.e. amount of RAM, CPU with speed (MHz), if it's an add on card for
your printer, who makes it, the version, RAM, etc. IF it's a display
driver or document previewer, the machine it was run on, etc. Include the
PostScript version number, the PPST version number, and the 8 numbers 
on the output page (the four times in seconds and the four index results).

Enjoy....
