Re: Performance Question

2003-05-02 Thread Ryan . Asleson 

I have FOP running on a Pentium 4 2.54 GHz computer with 1 GB memory and
Win2000.  I use Saxon 6.5.2 as the XML parser and XSLT engine.  It also
uses custom XMLReaders to produce SAX events which are processed by FOP.

We usually see a PDF production rate of 8-9 pages per second, and we
sometimes produce PDFs that are 1500+ pages.  The only real problem with
FOP is some of the XSL style sheet tricks necessary to insert intermittent
page-sequences so FOP doesn't run out of memory.

Hope this helps.

In my company, we are currently using StreamServe to produce documents
(basically invoices).
50.000 docs/day, 3.000 prints, 47.000 pdf.
The final document averages 3 pages (there are some exceptions with up to
1000 pages - very rare, however), a document containing only one graphic
(logo).

I am puzzling whether I can shift from StreamServer to FOP. Are there any
people out there who apply FOP to achieve a similar volume? Is the
performance ok?

I tried to process lesser amounts of docs (muuch lesser volumes!) and got
into serious trouble. I have abbandoned FOP, but I must admit that there was
Cocoon inbetween.

A good rule of thumb is two pages per second on moderate hardware (Intel P4
1GHz), if the JVM is kept warm. If the documents share the graphic, FOP's
image cache is an advantage. This might fit, barely (1d=86.4ksec ~ 172 kpage
~ 50k documents). If you are batch processing, you can try to balance it
over several machines.
Run some benchmarks and make up your own mind.
