this is a followup on 691512.

The testfile contains 8bitRLEencoded raster images.

Though the MaxRasterBitmap improves the performance of the bit-device (from
15min to 1m46. This is still far away from the time needed for the jpeg-device
(11 secs).
Because of our legacy-pdl (prints in 5 secs) this is still a concern for us.
(with same testfiles as 691512).

measured relatively (on Cygwin platform):
time ufst-obj/pcl6 -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=page%d.jpg -r600 -dNOPAUSE
-dMaxRasterBitmap=10000000 VZXP9TJ2.xl 
==> 0m11.639s)

time ufst-obj/pcl6 -sDEVICE=bit -sOutputFile=page%d.ras -r600 -dNOPAUSE
-dMaxRasterBitmap=10000000 VZXP9TJ2.xl 
==> 1m145.036s
