High CPU Utilization of FOP under Windows 2000

["Thibodeaux, Paul" <Pa...@ps.net>]

We are using it to format some rather large documents in a background
process.  However, this process still seems to consume most of the CPU to
the point that the system becomes "bogged down" until the processing
completes.

Is there any tuning parms that I can use that would prevent FOP from
overloading the system?

Thanks,
Paul

You can decrease the priority of the process. This
can be done with the nice(1) utility on Unixish
systems and manually from the Task Manager for WinNT
and successors. For more hints, as a system specific
local guru. FOP itself or even the JRE does not care
about the amount of processor time allocated to it.
