Dave Smith commented on PDFBOX-1996:
------------------------------------
I would check with John who wrote it but since we are sampling and only taking
one float and dividing by 255 to get a value of 0..1 I would think we can only
have 255 different values.

> Key: PDFBOX-1996
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1996
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Dave Smith
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: pdfbox.patch, pdfbox.patch

> I have a 4 page black and white pdf that takes 32 seconds (8 seconds a page)
> to render. It uses a Separation color space and it has to run numerous
> functions per pixel that is causing the slow down. I have a patch where I pre
> calculate the black and white pixels and cache them instead of calculating
> them every time. This optimization gets the page rendering down to less than
> a second a page. I will attach my patch. I could see going forward caching
> all calculated colours , but floats in hash maps are tricky.
