Performance

Conversion performance varies widely depending on the input document size and complexity, input and output formats etc. Since conversions are done by OOo, raw conversion time is not something that can be improved by JODConverter.

Just to give an idea the following table shows some benchmarks for converting different ODT documents to PDF:

Document	Size	Pages	Avg Time (ms)	Throughput (per minute)
Hello World!	7 kb	1 p	98 ms	612 p/m
Metadata Use Cases and Requirements	13 kb	5 p	710 ms	422 p/m
Open Document Format v1.1 Accessibility Guidelines	81 kb	52 p	2314 ms	1348 p/m
OpenDocument v1.1 Specification	475 kb	737 p	24084 ms	1836 p/m

Tests made with jodconverter-cli and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 on a laptop with a quad-core Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz processor and Windows 10

In general, conversions to/from OpenDocument take less time than equivalent conversions involving other formats since OpenDocument is the native OOo format. (E.g. ODT to PDF is faster than DOC to PDF.) Other factors affecting performance include the presence of graphics, charts, and other objects in the document, macros etc.

The bottom line is that you should make some benchmarks of your own - with documents of the types and complexities required by your application - to understand if the performance is adequate for your purposes, or if you need to throw more hardware at the problem.
