Strange, the difference was very noticeable, in the XSL-transforms (to HTML,Excel,FO) as well as in de FOP-PDF generation step. Like XML-FO-PDF in 10 seconds instead of 50!! Other people reported the same thing e.g. see the thread Re: FOP performance on Win98/JRE 1.3.1 on FOP-DEV. That's

I've been making pretty big PDFs with a similar system and can share a few off-the-cuff comments. It's obvious to me that the structure of your fo document - sequences, page layout, flows, etc - can make a significant difference in memory usage and speed. However, I don't have enough concrete
