We have compared the following four XSL-FO processors.
Generally speaking,
The fastest processor is Antenna House XSL Formatter Version 3
Second is XEP version 3
The third is Antenne House XSL Formatter Version 2.5
The slowest among these four is FOP. The performance of FOP is
not good.
There are some other XSL-FO processors, but I can not say about them.
Please take care the performance depends on the structure of
XSL-FO. For example, auto layout of table takes much time.

I intend to use XSL-FO to generate potentially tens of thousands of pages
in PDF format. Not necessarily all in one go, probably a couple of hundred
at a time. I am testing all my scripts using FOP which I have noted is
rather slow.
Anybody have any idea what other renders are out there which can churn out
pages any quicker than FOP? Any recommendations?
