25 Feb 2002: Added performance tutorial

I've added a new tutorial on improving the performance of Jostraca. (Thanks to Steve for feedback on this).

When I sat down to write this tutorial, I had to face a question I had been putting off for quite some time: how to prepare documentation for Jostraca, so that I could produce many different formats (PDF, HTML, etc) from the same source text.

The answer is Star/OpenOffice. Not only does StarOffice use XML as a native file format, it also makes a decent job of saving to HTML. Because the HTML produced by StarOffice is simple and comprehensible, a small Perl script can be used to modify it slightly to fit the style of this site. The only other question was how to produce PDF documents. For this I used Ghostscript and Redmon.
