Except that in the era of PostScript, your PC was a weakling vs. today

have taken a lot more than a "few secs" on CPU's of the era.

 If a client wanted some of the formatting features available with
PostScript but didn't have a PS printer we spawned GhostScript to massage
the PS file and copied the result to the printer. No problemo.
