looks like gs is writing out the resulting pdf and this seems to take some time ... btw: how fast is your disk. Both machines (10.3 vs 11.1) are identical; they are virtual machines on ESX servers connected to an EMC SAN. Try out to use /dev/null as OutputFile, does this go faster? You may also replace -c .setpdfwrite with -dCompressFonts=true -dMaxInlineImageSize=0 -c '.setpdfwrite 300000000 setvmthreshold' if you have enough memory available in your system. Will test.
I let - time /usr/bin/gs -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=file.pdf -dSAFER -dCompressFonts=true -dMaxInlineImageSize=0 -c '.setpdfwrite 300000000 setvmthreshold' -f file.ps - run for 233 minutes, then I started (to /dev/null) - time /usr/bin/gs -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null -dSAFER -dCompressFonts=true -dMaxInlineImageSize=0 -c '.setpdfwrite 300000000 setvmthreshold' -f file.ps - and let that run for 102 minutes. Neither finished.
Do you have the PostScript file? Please attach this compressed and send it in a PM to me.
