title: Unacceptable performance rendering PDF Tables with ITextSharp and PDFSharp
body: <p>I am trying to generate PDF files containing large numbers of tables.  Each PDF could potentially be 150 pages in length.  </p>
  
  <p>When using <a href="http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ITextSharp</a>, the file sizes are up to 16 megabytes and have no noticeable shrinkage when zipped.  </p>
  
  <p>When using <a href="http://www.pdfsharp.net/PDFsharp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PDFSharp</a>, the file size is very reasonable at 2 or 3 megabytes but it takes an unacceptable length of time (I canceled it after 3 minutes) to generate the document.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have a suggestion of generating complex PDF files efficiently w/ .NET?</p>
