lpq has bad performance

Hi group!

We use Cups spooling several printjobs for our production printer.

In general we have many small jobs (e.g. 5 queues / 5000 jobs each).

Communication between Cups and the printers is reasonable but getting queue-information with commands like "lpq -a" or even "lpq -P printer" takes ages to complete.

cupsd.conf is on default settings, printers have been configured using X.

Hardware-Configuration:

Dual Intel Xeon HT 2,4 GHz
2 GB RAM
Raid-0 76 GB (2 Disks)

OS: Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7 (Fedora Core 2)

Any suggestions appreciated!

Sincerly
