I'm probably missing something important here, but regarding the first graph: Isn't "direct" what ordinary users of fop do? Take a fo-file and then render it? Isn't "direct-via-if" what ordinary users of fop will do in the future, if IF is the default? Isn't the work done in "direct-via-if" the sum of the work done in "to-if" and "from-if"? And, if all the above answers are yes, why is the performance gain noticed in "from-if" not more obviously related to the performance gain in "direct-via-if"?
