The time you wait is for ghostscript to create the print preview, and
some colour conversion. If we can speed it up we will. There might be a
better way of processing the user choices, we can change it. I guess the
only way to make it better at this point would be to have a "Go" button
where you choose your preview options and then press "Go" and it creates
the preview....

Do you have any further ideas?
