Fop speed improvements

Hi all,
    This is the second message I post about fop performance; is there a way
to make it faster or "useable".
    I'm generating a pdf from a servlet and although it's very easy to use,
it's VERY slow and causes the browser to raise a timeout exception. I'm
using a Pentium III 500 + 500 Mb + jdk1.3 machine and it takes 5 minutes  to
get a 2 pages document with no graphics, just one big table with 5
columns...

Am I doing something wrong or fop is not ready for "real-life" ?

Thanks in advance,
    Pablo.-

Would you mind sharing the XSL-FO of this document?
We are currently studying how far optimizing FO code (just on one example 
document that we know is less than optimal) makes a difference, and I'd be 
interested in comparing your FO constructs.

Wow.  That's slow.  I'm also using it in a Servlet and I don't have any
performance problems.  I generated a 100 page PDF in about 20 seconds, and
that included many graphics and short tables.  How big is your table?  I
typically have between 5-20 rows.

I'm using JDF 1.3.1_01 with Tomcat 3.2.3.  Are you using FOP 0.20?  I am.

Scott
