Did you/people in general think NeWs made sense, performance-wise? What was the general belief back then?

Don't know about NeWS, but Display Postscript was performant.

I guess I had just always assumed that NeWs was slow.

I think the performance of Display Postscript in OpenStep / NeXTSTEP was a indicator that NeWS didn't have to be slow. It would be interesting to have a version of it today to test.
