27259 - printing is four times slower than Nav4.7+

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect, P3)

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Using 2000021008 Commercial on WinNT 4.0 SP4. HW is HP Omnibook 4150 laptop with 
a P3-200 and 256M memory.

To repro: print page in latest Commercial and in Nav4.7+ and stopwatch. I get 
these values:

Nav4.7+          15 seconds
2/10 Commercial: 65 seconds

This bug *might* be caused by bug 27258, "printing generates file 40 times 
larger than Nav4," which I've filed on the same URL. It could be that generating 
that massive file is what's slowing us down. Not marking depends as I don't have 
proof.

This is a function of reflow.. the faster reflow is the faster our printing will 
be.. or the faster we read in images.. the faster printing will be.  We have to 
reload all our images for printing.. because we need the original size.  This is 
as it was designed.
