Benchmark comparison with wkhtmltopdf (PDF)

[francoisjacquet]

Hello,

Thanks for this great library!

I am implementing Chrome headless as an alternative to wkhtmltopdf as it is no longer maintained.

I was doing some benchmark generating a 89 pages PDF.

PDF size generated is 500KB versus 2.5MB for Chromium.

Regarding RAM usage, wkhtmltopdf process is 23MB while I am not sure for Chromium:

Provided the above screenshot, should I count the chromium-php* processes as well? I am not sure what those are and how they are spawned.

Is it PHP, or is it Chromium? Do you have an idea?

Are there any options one could pass to chromium or the chrome-php library that could reduce RAM usage when printing PDF?
