Each version of FOP and Cocoon gets quicker and quicker. It's better stay current. Regarding your questions on speeding up the implementation, I have to ask how often the source changes. If it does not change often, I suggest pre-generating it on a specified interval. The user will think you did some voodoo and think you are a "god", and you didn't change the architecture. At the very least, this will buy you some time so that you can experiment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
