it may not make a real difference in rendering (since it's just a piece of 
big text) and on a laser printer it should not print slower; so i assume 
that you use a ink jet printer; in that case, why not use a smaller 
fontsize (say 1cm); this is already annoying enough but prints faster

btw, a big page filling  75% gray "DRAFT" makes the document unreadable 
anyway, so printing is not what someone wil do then; if you aim at reading, 
use .85 instead (on many desktop printers values larger than that will not 
show up).
