Sounds strange. What system is y<our gs running on? I recently converted
a bunch of PS pages (generated from PDF by xpdf's pdftops, containing a bunch of
type42 fonts and a logo on each page besides the text) to TIFF (tiffg4 in this case)
using gs 7.00 on a sparc5 running SunOS 4.1.4, and the speed was roughly 50 to 60
pages per minute.
Perhaps you could post (an URL to) a sample file.
