Do you realise that Cocoon can cache these PDFs? It may take a minute to render a very large PDF, but only the first time. On subsequent requests the PDF can be served from the cache, rather than regenerated. If necessary you can "prime" the cache by crawling your site regularly with a web-crawler. So you may not need to use the CLI at all. Users on a slow connection will spend much longer downloading the PDF than it takes to generate it in any case.
