Hi, i played around with the profiling infos from the JVM and it turnes out that formatDouble creates a lot of temporary byte[] and char[] and String and StringBuffer's. I already implemented a simple cache and the overall speed of a 23 page report is 10% better, memory usage without garbage collection is 40% less. Is anyone else trying to optimize speed and memory footprint of itext currently?
The simple cache just caches all converted numbers from -32768 to 32768 and returns the cached bytes instead of recalculating them with getISOBytes again. I will also implement a cache for ascii based String with a length <=2, this should also increase performance and reduce memory usage because getISOBytes shouldnt get called in this either. regards, david _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
