I believe such information is dated. Printer drivers that use
techniques like stochastic dithering or error diffusion -- basically,
fancy words for "including an element of randomness" -- don't show
moiré artifacts like earlier printer drivers did, and have smoother
gradients, as well.
It may well be true that more sophisticated RIP algorithms take up
more processor time, but again, that may have been more of an impact
when a really hot machine was running at 250MHz.
