In fact, I have transformed some very large documents via XLST to XSLFO and
then process to PDF using RenderX' Java-based XEP renderer. On a
3-year-old laptop (300MHz Pentium, 256MB memory, Win2K), I can process a
several-hundred page document from XML to PDF in under 5 minutes, which is
pretty reasonable, IMHO.
Hope this helps,
Jim
