> {quote}Profiling PDF text rendering with openhtmltopdf (PDFBox 3.0.4, but I also
> checked 3.0.8 and trunk), I found that GsubWorkerForLatin.applyGsubFeature
> builds a new GlyphArraySplitterRegexImpl on every call. That regex depends
> only on the font, not on the text, but it gets rebuilt on every showText
> call, because PDAbstractContentStream recreates the GsubWorker in setFont
> on every call instead of keeping the one already cached in gsubWorkers.
> In our specific case, on a 14-page PDF, using a font with a ccmp feature
> (Inter), this rebuilding represents most of the time spent drawing text.
> Caching the splitter regex per font (local test with patched PDFBox) saves
> about 250 ms. The output is unchanged.{quote}
