Last time I tried measuring it, it took less than 2s to render gcc.1,
the by-then largest (by far) man page of all.
On what hardware? tls's "slowest supported hardware"? (What _is_ the

Physical VAX, but don't know the details.

Now we're completely off-topic, but that would be the 730.
It does just over 0.1 MIPS.  It was extremely slow > 20 years ago when I last tried one.
