To speed up FOP rendering, I have developed a multi-threaded program that initializes a FOP factory and shares it amongst the thread instances.
We experience a large performance increase because we are not starting a JVM on each instance of FOP rendering and we are not creating a FOPFactory for each thread but sharing a FOPFactory amongst threads. Testing on LINUX and using the following command to examine memory: ps -e -orss=,args= | sort -b -k1,1n | pr -TW$COLUMNS I notice a slow memory memory leak. The test sends the same xml and xsl over and over again to the same multi-threaded program with its FOP factory instance. Is this a well known problem in FOP? Does FOP leak memory?
