And what about the quality of groff for paper output?

Is is comparable to TeX?

I'm total groff newbie but saw Ted's post regards; TeX buffers more input
and therefore auto-produces 'better' layout than groff.

How much tweaking is needed to achieve the same quality of output?

Is is possible to match TeX quality because of the different approach?
