FOP's performances...

At present there are problems of speed... 

To improve FOP's performances, 
Does anybody have to test products to compile class Java FOP ?

Example: 
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/

Yes, but not directly. You can set the height property
of the row where the cell is in, and you can set the width
of the column.
For example
   <fo:table table-layout="fixed">
     <fo:table-column column-width="4cm">
     <fo:table-body>
       <fo:table-row height="4cm">
         <fo:table-cell/>
       </fo:table-row>
     </fo:table-body>
   </fo:table>

Generally, this seems to be a task for the keep-together,
keep-with-next and keep-with-previous properties.
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#keep-with-next
Unfortunately, only keep-with-next and keep-with-previous
work, and only on table rows. You have to use a blind
table to use it.

You are supposed to trim this, in particular if it has
nothing to do with your message.

Philippe,

I do not think that native compilation is the main solution for FOP's speed.

The main issue is the overal architecture of FOP. This is adressed by the
redesign effort. If you are interested, please, go to the FOP web site to
see the list of addressed issues and to see where you could help the FOP
team.

As for me, speed issue only appear with large document around 200-2000
pages (I don't even mention above these values).

Of course, the more raw computing your software has to do, the more
efficient it will be when native compiled. Yet I do not think this is the
issue here.

Hope this helps.


By the way, what  average speed would you consider ok ?
