We had some performance problems with fop and began to investigate. For a specific example document of about 400 pages fop took about 55 seconds on a server at a client. The same process was much faster in our own setting (taking about 11 seconds). What we found out is the following:
- fop from the distribution (either 1.1 release or 1.2 snapshot) takes 55 seconds - fop from the suse package takes only 11 seconds The two configurations differ in the jars: The suse config does not include xercesImpl, xalan and serializer We are running java version "1.7.0_40" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.1) (suse-8.18.1-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b50, mixed mode) So, removing these three libraries drastically improved performance for us. Can someone explain why this is so? Can I safely drop these jars?
