Slow for me with Courier 10 and Courier New 10 as well.  Seems to be a
recent regression.  I wonder which package, though...  Kazuo Teramoto
said that he could reproduce it on Archlinux, and since Arch and
Debian Sid are two of the biggest rolling-release distros, it makes me
think that this is an upstream regression in one of the libraries, and
not a Debian/Ubuntu specific regression.  If someone with Gentoo could
do an emerge world, it would probably help to confirm or refute that
theory...
