+Summary: "new PrintDialog()" takes ~2 seconds on linix
+
+the trouble is that we're using a synchronous cups api call in
+System.Drawing.Printing.PrintingServicesUnix.  we need to either replace
+that with an async call, or do it more efficiently, or both.
+
+also, we make this call every time the PrintDialog code gets the list of
+installed printers (i.e. every time "new PrintDialog()" is called)..  not
+sure if the cups library is caching the list, but we certainly aren't.
