Jakov Vežić commented on PDFBOX-5169:
-------------------------------------

With the latest snapshot, using a CPU optimized droplet on Digital Ocean (Xeon 
E5-2650) with 8 threads and 16 GB RAM, it takes about 5 minutes to merge. The 
merging takes up about 2 GB of RAM and uses mostly a single thread for nearly 
the whole duration of the merge (2.0.23, for example, uses all threads). 
Running it on Java 11.

 

This is the file I get: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5w3w95iprr1j7n/out.pdf?dl=1]

 

When I open it in Acrobat Reader (latest) it opens but hangs almost immediately 
with Acrobat Reader not responding. This behavior happens on 5 different PCs - 
and the result is the same when I run the merge on Windows as well.

> results in an overly large file. The two input files are 1,25 MB and 16,3 MB 
> large, while the output file is just over 400 MB large. The action also
