Multi Threaded engine
I would like to know is anyone working on a multi threaded version of fop, The thing that I discovered was that when creating a PDF with lots of images if the images are using external links then it tends to take a long time to actually get them and put them into a document, I was wondering whether there was any plans or the ability to quickly scan the external links and then using multiple threads to get the images in parallel to reduce the download and creation time. Example: Document using external image links : 3 minutes. Document preparation (xml-fo processing ) 1 second Image Download 2 minutes 53 seconds Fo- PDF : 6 seconds Splitting that down All images downloading in parallel 8 seconds: In Series 2 minutes 53 seconds So if the images were cached in parallel then the time would drop from 3 minutes to 15 seconds processing time.

Re: Does FOP-1.1rc1 change handling of RGB values?
Chris, I'm not sure how to read this. Are you endorsing string-replace as the way to go to get cmyk into the pdf or was that meant to be tongue-in-cheek? I was about to switch over to using rgb-icc since we have two colour profiles in play. If you're suggesting that string-replace is preferrable, then I really have to get the correct(ed) strings from somebody. Chris Bowditch wrote Definitely the right way to use FOP though :-) Chris -- View this message in context: http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Does-FOP-1-1rc1-change-handling-of-RGB-values-tp36690p36735.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
