Tim Allison commented on PDFBOX-3429:
-------------------------------------

If the client calls parse on a File via TikaInputStream, we use the basic 
PDDocument.load(File, password), otherwise we read directly from the stream.

{noformat}
            if (tstream != null && tstream.hasFile()) {
                // File based -- send file directly to PDFBox
                pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(tstream.getPath().toFile(), 
password);
            } else {
                pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new 
CloseShieldInputStream(stream), password);
            }
{noformat}

It is on my todo list to enable more flexibility via config.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Text extraction
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
>         Environment: Win7, jdk1.8.0_60 x64
>            Reporter: Luis Filipe Nassif
>            Priority: Minor

> While testing Tika 1.13, which uses PDFBox 2.0.1, from a multithreaded text 
> extraction application, I noted cpu usage aroung 80% in my 6 core computer 
> when processing a dataset of ~75 thousands of pdfs (18GB). It took 5min25sec 
> to complete the text extraction. With Tika 1.10, which uses PDFBox 1.8.10, 
> cpu usage stays aroung 100%. It took 4min37sec to complete. The dataset is 
> read from a ramdrive, so there is no i/o bottleneck. I suspect there is some 
> new synchronization code that blocks the threads for a non trivial amount of 
> time, resulting in less cpu usage than before.
