Feel free, I don't think it'll hurt any feelings. :-) I make a practise of
using PassiveTeX, AntennaHouse XSLFormatter and RenderX XEP, just so I can
get a feel for what the consensus is on formatting and rendering things
where the spec allows leeway. The www-xsl-fo list has implementors from all
the processors participating. And certainly implementors sometimes share
private communications. There is plenty of room for competition.
To date I haven't noticed that FOP is slower than the other processors. If
anything it is often somewhat faster (subjective impression, I'll admit). I
think at this point even the most mature formatters are still more concerned
with feature support than they are with speed (memory usage being another
matter entirely, of course).
