Improving FOP Performance
Hi everybody,
We've been doing some performance tests using several output formats (PDF, PostScript and AFP), and they al give us about the same time results, which are far from what we expected. I'm aware that there are several bits of Apache FOP which might me tweaked, but any suggestions would be appreciated for improving performance.
Regards,

Nah, profiling ain't digging deep, it's by far the quickest and easiest way
to find unexpected performance hogs.

Actually were reusing (private static variables) the FopFactory but not the transformerFactory, I'll try with that too.
Thanks!

Hi, Gonzalo-
You may want to consider reusing FopFactory and TransformerFactory
instances. That would help if multiple documents are generated in a
given "run". Also, JVM start time may be included in the performance
results.
Using a profiler sounds like a good idea.

Dear Luis,
We do use several images, such as logos, barcodes and charts in our documents (imagine bank statement like documents).
What formats are the best (native) to make the process faster / smoother? We can tweak the images to suit what's best.
Thanks

Can you explain what you expected? The performance results really depend
on the example you use. For instance, images can make a big difference,
and depending on the type of image and the format output FOP may use a
native or non native image loader which may result in significant
performance differences.
