Oh, I missed that bit... I suspect (and one of the developers should be able to confirm or deny) that FOP is initiating a separate connection for each graphic, serially, and so you’re incurring a lot of overhead to start and terminate each one. I would look into strategies to preëmptively fetch the graphics if possible. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “Be wary of great leaders.
