300 dpi is pretty fast as you can see, but the image in the header looks really crappy then. So I tried the pdf converted with pdftops again, just to see how the poppler solution performs:

time nc -w1 192.168.2.103 9100 < poppler.ps

real 0m3.657s

Image quality is as good as the 600dpi ghostscript one. So we are a bit slower now, but not far far away like before. So I guess this bug is really fixed. I'm pretty sure one could find fine tune the printer settings and save a little bit more, but that is up to the user. In general I would consider this "bug" fixed. Thank you very very much Chris for your super-human endurance and of course Till for delivering the fix. One last question, for the record: Does this patch apply to all Kyocera printers or only to some/this specific model?
