It takes their lib 70 seconds to open a 316k PDF on my dual G5 (!)
Same library only takes about 4 seconds on my 2 gig pentium.
The Shark profile listed two routines that were the hogs;
unfortunately, they don't provide source. I sent them the info,
hopefully they'll fix it. They must not get much demand for Mac stuff.
Too bad, cause their lib looks pretty nice.
ICEpdf is another one I'm looking at that looks promising.

Have you considered profiling the RasterMaster library, to find out
where
the time is spent? It might be something simple or correctable.
Also, how many seconds is "very poor", and on which Mac
configurations? If
I run a specific Java program on a 266 MHz G3 iMac with 128 MB RAM,
it's
very different from a 1.2 GHz G4 with 512 MB RAM.
