> Hi,
> We have two problems :
> 1. FOP Performs unusually SLOW if there is a large paragraph
> We have noticed that when there is an unusually large paragraph than FOP
> performance is incredibly slow. FOP takes more than 15 minutes in the method
> findBreakingPoints which is defined in BreakingAlgorithm.java. The paragraph
> size is of around 50 thousand characters. This method seems to find the best
> possible Break point. Can we not make this method return a default break
> point that works for the English language ?
> 2. FOP uses unusually large memory when running in findBreakingPoints method
> defined in BreakingAlgorithm.java. This method starts to consume around 500
> MB memory creating thousands of Objects of KnuthNode type. Such memory
> consumption is unacceptable just for finding a line break :-(.
> 2. FOP gives a SAX Exception on having a long paragraph in Systems which dont
> have 1.5 GB RAM for a simple paragraph which has 90K Characters. Below is the
> exception
> javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
> javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The
> element type "xsl:template" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
> "</xsl:template>".

> Caused by: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:

> terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:template>".

> Is there a way, I can prevent this extensive memory usage and slow
> performance by using a default break ? I am ready to build the JAR myself. Is
> this a bug which has already been fixed ?
> thanks,
> Jeet.
