I'm using PDFBox 0.8.0 incubating and I'm seeing some odd performance discrepancies between Linux and Windows.
I develop locally on Linux (64-bit Ubuntu) and a PDF merge operation in a web application I've been building takes less than 1 second. When I move this same code to a 64-bit Windows 2003 server, the same merge operation takes as long as 90 seconds. I'm definitely using a 64-bit JVM (1.6.0_17 to be exact), and I've double-checked to make sure Tomcat is pointing to the right JVM. I've narrowed the longest part of the process down to the mergeDocuments() method itself. In the test I've been running it's appending a one-page PDF to the end of a two-page PDF, and the resultant file is about 1MB in size, so not a ton of pages or huge file sizes. Any ideas what might be causing the discrepancy between my local development environment and Windows Server 2003?
