I haven't seen a head to head comparison, but Distiller seemsslower when running on what should be a faster system (for instance,Distiller on a PPC Mac vs a 25 MHz 68040 NeXT runningps2pdf), so I think this is fair -- also, one of MarkDoyle's postings indicated that Distiller was not fast enough for use as arun-time server. In contrast, I find that I can use ps2pdfas a post-processor during routine document creation.
