=========== Performance =========== Some users have noticed that current versions of OCRmyPDF do not run as quickly as some older versions (specifically 6.x and older). This is because OCRmyPDF added image optimization as a postprocessing step, and it is enabled by default. Speed ===== If running OCRmyPDF quickly is your main goal, you can use settings such as: * ``--optimize 0`` to disable file size optimization * ``--output-type pdf`` to disable PDF/A generation * ``--fast-web-view 0`` to disable fast web view optimization * ``--skip-big`` to skip large images, if some pages have large images You can also avoid: * ``--force-ocr`` * Image preprocessing
