Yes, PostScript has to fill all those teeny, tiny polygons, and the data
you create makes a hell of a lot of them! It is going to take some time
to write all that nonsense to a PostScript file. :-)

Perhaps you are remembering the contour *procedure*, rather than the
contour *function*. Two different programs, for two different graphics
systems.

Cheers,
