I ran the test again to get more accurate numbers. Rendered in 9m31s under gv 
3.5.8/gs 6.51 embedded inside konqueror from where I printed with Ctrl+P 
through kprinter without preview of course.

The print spooler showed only a file size of 1k (the actual file is 705 bytes) 
suggesting that the printer rendered it itself in only 6m38s.
