The only known pitfall concerning 0.20.4 is a MT-problem with images. You can occasionally get NullPointerExceptions when images are loaded. This has been fixed in 0.20.5rc. I expect 0.20.5rc to work well in a multithreaded environment although FOP still uses a few ugly construct like a too frequent use of statics, for example. We're adressing this in the redesign.
Some best practice that comes to my mind is to only configure FOP once when the VM starts. You mention that the average rendering time increases with multiple threads. Just curious, what about the throughput? Is FOP getting slower with multiple threads?
