If you have plenty of memory, I don't think your performance speed will be adversely affected by using one page-sequence. If you are running out of memory, probably your least-expensive, quickest-to-implement solution is to run on a machine with more memory. AFAIK, the commercial implementations use more memory than FOP, but that may have changed. Several releases ago, FOP needed to have the entire document in memory, not just one page sequence. So the current state is a vast improvement over that. One of the stated goals for FOP is to be able to process page-sequences of arbitrary size, i.e. limited only by disk space instead of memory. There have been pretty heated discussions among the developers about how best to do this. The trick of course is to come up with a /general/ solution that works or can be made to work for all cases posed. The constraints are significant. Consider the example of a table with auto layout that is 1000 (or 50,000) pages long. You need to know what is going on at both ends of that table to do the auto layout. IIUC, the three rewrite efforts underway each use a different approach, and I don't think any of them are yet complete, so it will be interesting to see what possibilities develop. I wish I had a better answer for you. Your second-best option (see recommended option above) is probably to pick one of the rewrite efforts & support it.

But there are times when I need to generate multiple documents within a job and so I use this sequence repeatedly and it works fine. The only problem is that each time a new document is generated, it starts on a new page (since we are starting a new sequence for this document). I am looking at some option to control this. In some cases I want each individual document to start on a new page but in other cases I would like my next document to start off on the remaining empty page left out by my previous document. Going with one big sequence containing all the documents might work but it will be a performance issue as our documents can get real big. Any help to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

Re: page-sequence & master-name ?
"master-name" is incorrect in this case. "master-name" on page-sequence is still Candidate-Recommendation syntax. You have to use "master-reference" instead, as the ZVON reference now correctly indicates. I think it has been behind a long time but is correct now.
