# 10.2. Printing to disk using postscript takes ages to complete!

This is especially true on systems where you print to a disk or directory that is mounted with NFS. It seems that the printing code of the Qt-library does many small file operations (queries) while printing. This is not good when disk access is slow which it can be with NFS. Try to print to a directory that is not mounted with NFS. `/tmp` can be a candidate.
