Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3133:
-----------------------------------------
It would be interesting to hear whether the times you got were from your
applet, or from the command line. I don't know much about applets, ie. how to
configure their JVM parameters; with the command line, you can set the amount
of memory, e.g. -Xmx1g. So it would be worth to test whether it works fast on a
"slow" computer if you set the memory to a good number (and close everything
else). See also the task manager (taskmgr.exe) whether there are some
applications that use your memory and/or your CPU.
Another thing to test (I may have mentioned this before) is what happens if you
switch printers and/or printer cables.
> PDFBox 2.0.0-RC2 and earlier 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT Versions print performance is
> poor with systems having low RAM < 3GB and lower number of fonts.

> Key: PDFBOX-3133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3133
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: MS Windows Systems with low RAM < 3GB and number of
> fonts were less < 592 (or if desired fonts in PDF to be printed are not
> available in local system )
> Reporter: Sridhar
> Assignee: John Hewson
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1, SNAPSHOTS and RC2 versions print takes 15+ seconds.
> Steps to reproduce
> --------------------------
> Use Windows System with < 3 GB RAM
> Use Systems with less number of fonts or without specific fonts in PDF file
> to be printed.
> Printing PDF file
> Took 14 to 20 seconds in system with 3 GB RAM which had 522 foints
> Took 24 to 34 seconds in system with 2 GB RAM which had 90 fonts
> Took only 2.5 seconds in system with 8 GB RAM which had 1025 fonts.
> Doubt
> --------
> Not browsed the code, but following is the doubt as causing performance issue.
> Though the code caches fonts by storing fonts in local .pdfbox.cache file
> first time and caching fonts for subsequent times.
> Not clear whether the code updates the pdfbox fonts cache file if new fonts
> are found in new PDF file to be printed, while printing subsequent times.
> If the fonts in PDF file to be printed is not available in the .pdfbox.cache
> file stored in local system/local system what is the behaviour? Will the
> code download fonts and update cache for subsequent times or is it limited by
> fonts available in local system? Looks like later is the case and
> performance got hit either due to RAM or not constantly updating fonts cache
> or due to un availability of fonts in local system.
