[WEB400] PDF Performance






One thing that motivated me to download pd4ml was a performance benchmark, 
published on their web site, which indicated much higher throughput than 
that of my testing with Aaron Bartell's HTML2PDF4i utility.  My original 
thought was that a performance advantage alone might justify the 
additional cost of a pd4ml license.  However, both utilities appear to 
offer identical performance in generating an identical 150 page PDF 
document on my server.

That may not be saying much.  It takes 2 minutes to generate that PDF on 
my server.  To be honest, that kind of performance is a bit repulsive to 
me.  I've done a number of performance tests, and I think these Java jars 
may be a case where my 1 Gig of RAM, is insufficient.

Performance may be a moot point, however.  PDF reports are a requirement!

Any thoughts about performance?

-Nathan.
