However, when I try to print, it prints far slower than this---the printer has to wait for each page to get laid out by Ghostscript, so printing is a start-stop-start type affair. Is there a way to get CUPS to process the entire print job _before_ printing? Or is there a way to get Ghostscript to process the job faster?

You should present more details on how your printer is configured
(backend, PPD, filters).
