I have the same problem but I could not easily change the XSLT to generate different page sequences. (The data is tables from a DB that go into a report.) However, since the PDFs are to be viewed only online, I split the input (with position()) and generate multiple page sets. That way no one PDF stream is more than a few hundred kilobytes over a 56k connection.
In researching this, I found the "Driver.setBufferFile(File buf)" method. I've set this, but it doesn't seem to work. There are no Javadocs on it. I've looked at the code but I don't think its being actively called by the renderer. Does anybody know the intent and design of this function? Do any developers know if it will be implemented soon? FOP is great, but it requires way too much kid gloving when it comes to performance and memory utilization. I read a note a while back (2000 I think) that someone said they were trying to achieve 100% conformance with the spec before they addressed these issues. I might agree with that, but few web browsers were 100% compliant with W3C standards before they were used daily by 10s of millions of users. FOP is in a good enough state to be useful in production environments. Isn't it time to address the scalability aspects of FOP to meet those needs? I suggest that "out of the box" FOP needs to manage its own resources much better. XSLT is already a drain.
