Problem

Symptoms: How will a complex table tax the printer (memory) and how much longer will it take to create? Solutions: Actually a complex table will tax the printer's memory about half as much as a comparable table of line draw. But because a table uses graphics lines, WP will take longer to calculate them and spool the print job. Here is an example: A user created two documents 10 columns 32 rows, one with line draw, the other with Tables. It took the user 5 to 6 minutes to create a sloppy grid with line draw and the document printed in 12 seconds. The network recorded 31,000 bytes. It took the user 8 seconds to create the table with the Tables feature and that document printed in 4 minutes 30 seconds. The network recorded 15,000 bytes. It took the laser printer about the same amount of time to actually print each job. It took an extra 2 seconds to download the line draw page.
