PDF to postscript conversion poroblems

UNIX AIX

Hi Gurus,

We are currently using a JAVA program that enables us to use some forms and convert them from PDF to print them postscript. It works great except that everytime it runs JAVA sucks 100% of the CPU.

What can I do to reduce the impact?

I am looking at:

  1. Nice the java process to reduce the load
  2. alternatives to java because it seems to be a hog
  3. pre-load the java so it does not have to intanciate itself each run

Suggestions?

Some memory tuning would probably help the situation also.
