I have about the same problem, though not that slow.
I didn't test yet due to migrating to MacOSX, but I have the  
suspicion that the reason could be that i've
subsetted some of the fonts when I've exported to PDF.
Also I wonder wether using a OpenTTF could be another reason.

My printer is a Epson C8500PS.

AFAIK this depends on your PPD, i found some for my printer which  
include the copies option and some which don't.
