I've worked with (for) DP for over a year now. I consider it a payback for all the great works they've formatted and proofed for the public domain through PG. The big holdup is the later "polishing" stages in which only very experienced proofers can work. There are so few of them at that level that it does take an inordinate amount of time to complete the process. Add to that the complex formatting of some of the older printed material and you have a natural bottleneck in the process.
