GhostScript was 88, Sun NeWS was 86ish, and Adobe Distiller was 1993. I had an Intel NeXTSTEP 3.3 machine in 95.

Did you/people in general think NeWs made sense, performance-wise? What was the general belief back then?

Don't know about NeWS, but Display Postscript was performant.

I guess I had just always assumed that NeWs was slow.
