Speed? For the host running Ghostscript? Or for the printer?

Any way to examine an incoming PDF whether it is sRGB content/whether it

What would be your strategy for automatic color space selection when 
having a PDF and printing it on adriverless IPP printer with only PWG 
Raster and/or Apple Raster as input formats?
