I have found out that the gs process was flat-lining the CPU because there were a number of PDF jobs in the print queue. These PDFs are converted Powerpoint slides and seem to be printed very inefficiently. One PDF has 6 pages - each page displays 6 ppt slides - ie. the PDF has been created from a PPT that has 31-36 slides. It took 12 minutes to print these 6 pages. The CPU is 1.6 Ghz single-core Pentium4. This is similar situation to Thorsten above - he is also printing .PDF files.
