Late optimization

[PN...@directsourcing.com]

Hello

I am aware of the thought that, never optimize your code before it's
working. Still I will venture into this thinking. As there is going to be
layout-->areatree with xsl2000 spec in it, I am thinking that before writing
the pdf file on the disk we have the complete fo objects/area objects in the
memory with their associated properties/traits. Now till today I have never
tried fop with a fo file larger than 20kb. I don't know what would happen if
we have files of the size multiple MBs. I will be running few tests with fop
and multiple Mbs fo files. Will post the results,

Any thoughts?
