If you're talking PDF, the performance bottleneck is usually FOP (unless you're doing very complicated XSLT transforms). This message from the FOP mailing list http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=102394976324738&w=2 might give you some interesting info about the current speed of FOP, which depends a lot on which XSL-FO constructs are used. If you have lots of PDF documents with a simplistic layout to generate (like envelopes), you might be better off bypassing FOP and using a simpler PDF library (or the one from FOP but calling it directly). This would probably be faster, at the price of having to compute the layout yourself.
