Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-4877:
--------------------------------------------
You're right, that's not optimal, but in the case of PDFBOX-4778 it avoids an
infinite loop which is much worse. The exception is triggered only in very rare
cases where the pdf is totally broken/hardly damaged so that it might not make
any sense to parse/render it at all. For now IMHO it's the best solution. maybe
we find some better in the future.

> I am testing text extraction from PDF and profiling the execution.
> I found that the third major time consumer is with matrix multiplicaitons.
> The Matrix class spends large amounts of time copying results to new
> instances.
> Also, the if statements are slowing down execution as they kill performance
> in modern CPUs.
