[reportlab-users] Reportlab performance

[Leszek Syroka]

Hello,

my name is Leszek Syroka. I am CERN employee, developing Indico, a web 
application using your library to create PDFs.

Right now our main concern is performance of 'platypus'. Creating a 
document, similar to attached one, but containing 1032 pages, about 1 
200 000 characters and no images takes about 12 minutes. Is it a normal 
time of creating such document?

Moreover I found out that to insert the table of contents document is 
created in three iterations. First time to create a document with blank 
table of contents, second one to put there and adjust dynamically 
created one and third time to fit the table of contents containing more 
than one page. Is it possible to make this operation only once?

I would also like to know how much quicker is using pdfgen library in 
favor of platypus, which for our application is a bit to slow.

Best regards
Leszek Syroka
