Re: Speed up PDF Creation, what hardware will create them the fastest?
Ok, when you have a process running at 100% (but only then) it is
telling you that a faster CPU would speed up things. Interestingly, I
don't have a red line, and don't know what it means. No, wait, I
looked it up: it is kernel times. If that is high it means most of
the time is spent in the system rather than in Acrobat. Which is odd.
Of course, in performance tuning, whatever barrier you remove another
one is hit, but there are much faster processors available.
Multiple processors will not help you, however, except to make the
machine more responsive while this is going on.
One interesting experiment would be to print to file and then distill
the result. Time both parts, and see if either or both runs at 100%.
And compare the total time to the "all in one" time. On the Mac, doing
it in two parts can be much quicker, but I haven't heard of that on
Windows.
