Hi,

I'm using your great gem to create quite long pdf's with rails. They contain a lot of conditions and tables.

It takes about 8 minutes to create a pdf with 60 pages and the resulting file is around 7MB. Do you have any tips on performance tuning and how to keep filesize down? Database performance is not the matter.

Something causes the cpu to run at maximum level during pdf creation.

I'm using prawn 1.0.0.rc1 and rails 3.0.9 with ruby 1.9.2

Thanks in advance
