It looks like wkhtmltopdf does not support multithreaded use;
see here:
https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/1711
So, if you want to run the conversions in parallel, you will
have to use separate processes.
Can I run that function in another memory space within my
application, making even __gshared be allocated in that memory
space, so that it seems it is another process? it's quite similar
to thread but everything is allocated in that new memory space
including __gshared.
I started calling the wkhtmltopdf executable by I wanted to see
if there's a signficative gain in performance calling the library
directly. My application do generate a lot of PDFs so I'd like to
optimiza as possible.
