I reviewed again the performance comparison report, in summary:

1. FOP is fastest within the three processors when base 14 fonts or type1 font are specified.
2. FOP is slowest when characters are in English, TTF font specifed and embed.
3. IF CJK fonts are specifed, FOP is always the slowest.

Performance result of FOP heavily depends on font format.

Best regards,

There are other implementations, and they are also worth including into the list. I would just like to 
see correct comparison in speed and feature, not just a batch run on a RenderX Sample (which cannot be run through
FOP, by the way -- the FASTEST of processors listed - just because it does not have support for shortands, which, in turn,
are not required for basic conformance).

Sincerely,
