Hi Terence,
On my even older MacBook, I need to wait about .5 second for each dialog
to appear as sheet. If I print one single card, it is opened in Preview
almost instantly. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 today. Which version of OSX
do you use?
I do notice that sheets slightly slower than normal dialogs. I don't
know if this has to do with Carbon/Cocoa. How much of a delay do you
observe?
