Rails - Jan 2006 - PDF::SimpleTable performance issues

Hello,

I am having performance issues ending with a ''time out'' from
Apache when
I try to generate a PDF file using pdf-writer.

It seems to happen at the render_on(pdf) function call ; the table I am 
trying to draw has 8 colums which values are generated on the fly.

Can''t find anything about pdf-writer and the ''time
out'' on the Web so
far.

Any ideas ? Anybody experienced the same issue ?
Is there any more friendly user and faster PDF generation tool ?

Thank''s,
Jonathan.

I''ve ran into this error with fop and java (years ago).  I
haven''t tried
generating "large" pdf files with PDF::Writer.

In the jsp/java world I had a popup window that would refresh every 5
seconds or so to avoid the timeout issue.  I don''t know if ror has a
built-in solution for this.

This might be a trick, but the table I create is certainly not big : 8 
columns (and only 4 are dynamic) and 2 rows.
The final pdf file contains half a page.

Have you tried timing how long it takes to create the document in a
command-line mode?

 Nope, I am using Rails with Apache and FastCGI, and I am having trouble 
with the ''console'' script.
I will try to fix it tonight and get the timing.
