Hello, Teddi,

There is no average speed of creating PDFs, because it totally depends 
on size and complexity of input files and availability of external 
resources (like images retrieved by HTTP). The time may also depend on 
available system resources (swapping is slow) and JVM memory settings.

If you use XML+XSL (not pure FO) as input, you may wish to transform 
your files to get FO file with Saxon and measure the time, then call XEP 
to produce PDF from FO and measure the time again.

On my old slow notebook it took less than a minute to create PDF from 
examples/xmlspec/xslt.xml + examples/xmlspec/xmlspec20.xsl (shipped with 
XEP).
