Hi Stepan What costs most in your setup is actually the JVM startup (including class loading and just-in-time compiling), and that for each document. No, FOP cannot split anything from the command-line.
You could try FOP's Ant task [1] to solve your problem if you're no Java programmer. Ant [2] allows to parallelize [3] tasks and with the FOP integration this should allow you to run just a single JVM for all documents. You could even do the XSLT in Ant, i.e. your whole process.
