parsing really slow on some documents
-------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-836
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.0
         Environment: CentOS 4.x/5.x/6.x
            Reporter: Rob Tulloh


We are seeing that tika sometimes takes a very long time to parse some content 
(likely PDF). For example, with the following EML file that contains 4 
documents (2 PDF, 1 MS Excel, 1 text):

{noformat}
fgrep --binary-file=text Content-Type: XXX.eml
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Type: text/html;
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;

du -sh XXX.eml
6.0M    1326391801.eml
{noformat}

Note that it takes tika nearly 30 minutes to process this content even though 
the source is only 6M in size:

{noformat}
time java -Xmx2G -jar ../../tika-app-1.0.jar -m XXX.eml >meta.out
WARN - Did not found XRef object at specified startxref position 230521
WARN - Did not found XRef object at specified startxref position 3742379

real    29m16.913s
user    18m17.050s
sys     0m19.465s
{noformat}

Is there any way to configure tika (in particular via solr) to process files 
more quickly?
