I assume the operating system has very little influence on the time here. The fact that ALi has a big difference in the first couple of invocations is a clear indicator that he experiences the effect of class loading and just-in-time compiling by the JavaVM. And yes, ALi, the stylesheets have to be "compiled" (or at least parsed) but I guess from your code that this happens each time in your case. Unfortunately, we don't see the code of your makePDF() method.
You can reuse the "pre-compiled" XSLT stylesheet if you use the JAXP Templates object. Please note that it's not FOP that compiles the XSLT stylesheet. It's probably you in makePDF() by using JAXP. FOP only processes the output of the XSL transformation. There are lots of articles on the web (like the following) that demonstrate how to cache Templates instances: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2003/jw-0502-xsl.html On 21.09.2005 10:22:22 Manuel Mall wrote: > Are you sure its not your operating system which causes the time > differences.
