This may not be an option for you, and may not increase speed even if it
is an option, but you could write out the printout yourself using
postscript. Of course it requires a postscript printer. Postscript isn't
that hard to do. It may be less "wordy" that IPDS. You can do fairly
complex drawables with only a few statements.
