How fast is HTMLDOC?
The speed of HTMLDOC depends a lot on the size of the HTML files you are converting, the number and size of the embedded images, and the speed of your computer. The current HTMLDOC Users Guide contains 32 images and formats to 128 pages. When generated on an 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Xeon computer running Linux, the PostScript manual file takes 2.5 seconds to generate, or about 51 pages per second. The PDF manual file takes 2.3 seconds to generate, or about 55 pages pages/sec. Both files are generated with JPEG compression enabled. The PDF manual also has maximum Flate compression (–compression=9) enabled.
