Heck, it was faster than the Macs, PCs, and the VAX-11/750 we had! At 
least for one storage-free job at a time.

A few of my fellow students (hello D Fischer) who fiddled with 
Postscript would download jobs to compute and print fractals that would 
run overnight on the printer... and much of the following day, in some 
cases.
