Re: [xep-support] Splitting of large document

I have also been working on a very large document (88MB FO file, 2200
pages of technical text and drawings). I can offer the following three
suggestions:

1. Make sure your Java -Xmx size is as large as possible. With Windows
this will be approximately -Xmx1600Mb.
2. Use the XEP flag to turn off PDF compression (in xep.xml or command
line). This will result in a very large PDF, but you can compress it
after rendering by opening it in Adobe Acrobat and then saving.
3. Switch to a 64-bit Solaris platform (Opteron processors). We
benchmarked one of these machines and found that we can -Xmx almost
unlimited memory. The speed is also very fast.
