Petr Slaby commented on PDFBOX-3764:
------------------------------------

The bad news is that the -Dsun.java2d.cmm switch seems to be unofficial (at 
least I did not find it in any Oracle documentation) and the KCMS 
implementation is likely to disappear completely in one of the future Java 
versions. The OpenJDK issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041125 is 
closed and the comments in it do not give me much hope that the LCMS would get 
faster again or that the Oracle/OpenJDK guys would even consider working on its 
performance. All very sad... A workaround implementation in PDFBox would be 
very welcome because of that.

BTW, the page 
http://www.subshell.com/en/subshell/blog/Wrong-Colors-in-Images-with-Java8-100.html
 mentioned in the Getting Started Guide does not open.

> We found that PDFBox creates a better image than poppler so we wanted to 
> switch out our environment to get these improvements but found a file that 
> took about 10 minutes to create one image with PDFBox and only about 6 
> seconds with poppler. So a 100 times performance hit if we where to change.
> I've done some rudimentary profiling on the code and found that most of the 
> time is spent in ColorConvertOp.filter. Maybe there is a leaner way to 
> implement this in order to get a better result?
> best regards
