[iText-questions] Adding large element to document causes high cpu
 usage

Hi,

It seems that periodically in my html converter (i.e. html to pdf and
rtf) when there is a large node which contains numerous other nodes
and I add that top level element to the document by doing
document.add(Element element) then cpu usage goes to 100% and tomcat
hangs. However, when the html document contains various smaller top
level nodes it behaves fine. This problem tends to occur when the
whole html page is wrapped in a table with everything inside that in
cells. Each tag provides a representation of itself in Element terms
and gets added to its parent element.

Could you shed any light on if and why itext would cause cpu usage of
100% when adding a large element to the document?

Many thanks.
