Viewing certain postscript files under R 2.13-0 is very slow, at least using
GSview on my 64 bit Windows 7 system. To see this, compare how long it
takes to display these two files (fast.ps was created by removing the /srgb
stuff in .ps.prolog):
www.milbo.org/postscript/slow.ps
www.milbo.org/postscript/fast.ps
The code to produce the above two files is here:
www.milbo.org/postscript/slow-postscript.R
This is not exactly a bug, but is it a known issue? The hack used to
produce fast.ps above is fragile and not suitable for regular use. Is there
a option to the postscript() function (or could one be added) that would
sacrifice sRGB support for speed?
