Re: Send PDF to Browser

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jan,

If you generate the PDF file and send it in the same process there isn't
much
performance loss since the IFS file isn't written/paged to disk but resides
in
mainstorage - this is however only my own experience others may have
different
experiences.

In general it takes more time to generate the spool-file that it takes to
send the
IFS file to the browser.
