I have a sinking feeling another xalan/xerces combination is somewhere in my classpath. The problem? I don't have a classpath env. variable set. I wonder where that list of places the 1.4JVM looks for classes on win32 is? On Thu, 14 Mar 2002, Peter Jacobs wrote: > Strange, the difference was ve

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 in

That's interesting that it made a difference for you. On our XML/XSL, it didn't make much difference - maybe it shaved 1-2 seconds of a 60 second rendering. -David On Wed, 13 Mar 2002, Peter Jacobs wrote: > > Are you using the included Xalan and Xerces.jar? I replaced them with Xalan > 2.2 and X

Actually the FAQ (at http://www.owal.co.uk/cgi-bin/fopfaq.cgi since I have given up on the interactive Jyve program) doesn't contain much on memory consumption. I will add in the "new page sequence" when I (or someone else) comes up with an example. Alex At 20:22 12/03/2002, Chuck Paussa wrote:

Are you using the included Xalan and Xerces.jar? I replaced them with Xalan 2.2 and Xerces 1.4.2 and got big improvement in speed (on Win2000 and Sun Solaris). Peter Peter Jacobs Freelance multimedia programmeur De Budetstraat 8 B-3201 Aarschot [EMAIL PROTECTED] 016/5732

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 conc

Here's our benchmarking ballpark numbers: On an average report (~30 rows/page, ~7 cols., ~7 chars/column, no new page-sequences possible), output on Weblogic--I see around 500ms/page running on on my PIII-933 NT4, 512MB ram, max heap-size=256MB. I see about 900 ms/page on our RISC 2X550Mhz HP-UX

David, Most likely you're running out of memory. You should set a new page-sequence every once in a while (~60 lines of report would make it every page) Look on the FAQ about memory consumption Chuck David Le Strat wrote: All, I am currently working on a project where we are dynamically creating
