<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are preparing PDF documents from FO files using XEP 3.8.1, XEP Cocoon Connector 1.2 and Cocoon 2.1.5.1.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Cocoon's JVM has been allocated around 2.1 GB of memory.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Following are the results of our testing:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Concurrent Users: 1</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Time to process 400-pg book: ~4 minutes</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Concurrent Users: 10</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Time to process 400-pg book: Initially, the first book started with 4 minutes but then the processing time took longer and longer and the last (165th) book took around 2 hours.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">How many concurrent users does XEP support before its performance slows down? </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there any fine tuning we can do to improve this? </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are also planning to install XEP 4.0 but I am not sure if that will make any major changes in performance. Your early reply and help is greatly appreciated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
