I think we uncovered the culprit!

The files we received in the 0.2 version used an 'OCRAExtended' font, which
was TrueType and Encoding: Ansi.

The files we receive now with 0.95 have 'OCRAExtended', which is TrueType
(CID) and Encoding: Entity-H.

>From what I've read, the CID font is basically for foreign languages with
huge character sets.  Is this correct?  Is there a reason that the guys who
make the PDF need this CID font in version 0.95.  The only characters used
are numbers (0-9).

I swapped the font out in my samples, and combining 200 one-page pdfs
dropped from 30+ minutes to a few seconds.  This would make all the
difference to us, if it is doable from the developers' perspective.

What do you think?

Thanks!

So, the most important question is probably: is there something  
special about those PDFs? Are there many images, custom fonts,  
tables ...? Anything that might give us a clue?
