The problem with performance that I noticed is that some pdf readers (like 
kpdf, which I use mostly) need quite a lot of time to display a generated 
file. Although - adobe reader works well.
I have already some ideas to try later - playing less with the pdf stack, 
changing modes (text, page description etc) less often etc. I am not sure 
whether this will give any other improvement than a minor file size decrease, 
so I didn't dedicate myself to it yet. Also - this changes seem to be related 
with haru (kpdf complains sometimes about the pdf grammar in the file).
Generating a pdf file takes mostly not even enough time to notice it, 
sometimes about 1 or 2 seconds - so I think there is no need to indicate the 
progress of this process.
I will take a deeper look at this issue either during the second or during the 
fourth week of my work. It is mostly not noticeable, so it doesn't have a 
very high priority for me.
