PLotting time increase with 2006?

[11echo]

We have just up loaded Acad 20006 and I'm having problems. When I go to plot a drawing they are taking upward of 45sec to a full minute to send to the plotter. Normally the operation is 2 second MAX! Now it has become very labored to have to plot a entire drawing package, especially when you have over 10 drawing in the package. Anybody having the same problem? ...Anybody got a fix???

A few things you can look at. If you are plotting with gradients...

If you plot with raster images...

Everything seems to take longer in '06. We upgraded even and it still isn't as fast as I'd like it to be.
Are you using the Sheet Set Manager? That seems to work a little quicker when printing, especially if printing the entire set.
