Please post any PDFBox issues you notice on the PDFBox sourceforge bug list, if possible attach/email any problem PDFs that you encounter.
There are some efforts underway to improve the speed of PDFBox, you can monitor the progress at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1046300&group_id=78314&atid=552832 As for other suggestions, I know some people have utilized xpdf(open source but non Java) to extract the text.
