I vaguely recall benchmarking the print time of several Print Trains
in the early 70s, and my memory of specifics was weak, but I know
I identified three or four specific IDs that were 2 to 3 times longer
and I'm pretty sure they all had mixed case, or so I think I was told.
We went back to the users of those trains and either suggested changes
or scheduled their large prints for those print trains during slack
print times.

I was just a flunky work study student back then, U11 sounds familiar but it 
may not have had all the diacriticals.

 Somebody complained the print on the four part wasn't sharp enough so weekend 
took a typewriter brush and toluene solvent to make it shiny bright. After 
about 20 seconds, seized up tight. CE was in good humor and didn't flog anyone, 
but the overtime charges were pretty steep.

Yours may or may not have been the same scheme?
