I'm converting moderately complex HTML/CSS files to PDF and  files I'm converting vary in size, but some are larger than others. It takes normally 3 to 5 minutes to complete. Is there any way to optimize the speed of PDF generation.

If your Html contains images more it will take time and you can try setting up the
-d, --dpi <dpi> Change the dpi explicitly (this has no effect on X11 based systems) (default 96) --image-dpi <integer> When embedding images scale them down to this dpi (default 600) --image-quality <integer> When jpeg compressing images use this quality (default 94)

I have generated 1000 pages that will have only 1 image. It generated lessthan minute.
