#
#Demo/benchmark of PDFgen rendering Homer's Odyssey.



#results on my humble P266 with 64MB:
# Without page compression:
# 239 pages in 3.76 seconds = 77 pages per second

# With textOut rather than textLine, i.e. computing width
# of every word as we would for wrapping:
# 239 pages in 10.83 seconds = 22 pages per second

# With page compression and textLine():
# 239 pages in 39.39 seconds = 6 pages per second
