I guess something below 2 seconds is absolutely sufficient for a paper - and it should be possible using prerendered stuff. I guess i'll think about that once the sdk is there. Generating such books should be dead easy - ghostscript and imagemagick provide all you need.

(Besides: Hanlin's "wolf" format is produced by a tweaked printer driver, right? They're probably doing exactly that)
