l For complex templates with a lot of pages per document, there is a chance that the Merge
engines will run better with more memory.
l For jobs with heavy graphics, jobs that use Cut & Stack impositioning and jobs that use
particular variables that entail page buffering (see "Content variables" on page868), the
maximum memory usage of the Weaver engine can be relevant.
The Maximum memory per engine setting is found in the scheduling preferences of each
engine type; see Merge Engine Scheduling and Weaver Engine Scheduling.
Performance Considerations
This page is a guide to getting the most performance out of PrintShop Mail Connect as well as
a rough guideline to indicate when it's best to upgrade.
Performance analysis details
In PrintShop Mail Connect, after each print job, a message dialog displays a print job summary
(see "Print Job Summary dialog" on page469). This summary may help you determine how
best to maximize the performance of PrintShop Mail Connect.
With no Performance Pack, PrintShop Mail Connect's Weaver engine can generate output at
250 ppm (pages, or emails) per minute) for Subscription licence, or 1000ppm for Perpetual
licence. Additional Performance Packs increase this quota.
If your print jobs are not running at the licensed speed, there may be several ways to improve
the performance, as described below. Note however that it is not guaranteed that the licensed
speed can be achieved with any job. Creating output for templates with very complex scripts or
complex graphics resources will take a certain amount of time, even on high-end hardware.
If your print jobs are running at the licensed speed, then improving performance will require
purchasing either a Performance Pack or upgrading to PlanetPress or PReS Connect (see
Performance Packs). For advice please contact your local sales office (see Objectif Lune's
Contact page).
Engine configuration
A Merge engine merges the template and the data to create Email output, or to create an
intermediary file for Printed output. The intermediary file is in turn used by a Weaver engine to
prepare the Print output.
