Big/Huge XMLs

[Mohit Sharma <Mo...@attbi.com>]

I have big/huge XMLs, and I need to convert them into PDFs using FOP. Benchmarking the latest FOP gives poor results, both memory-wise and processing-wise. Its just taking too much time. The XML cannot really be broken down into chunks, as its all part of a report. And I need to process a lot of reports overnight, and I don't have a cluster at my disposal to distribute the load.

Is there a way to speed up the processing time ?

In addition to Matt's comments there is: 
http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html#memory

Also keep in mind that very high memory consumption often comes with a
decrease in speed for Java. So reducing memory consumption may improve
speed. Also avoid building a DOM for input. I you do that try changing
to SAX event generation.
