[CS5][JS] Efficiently export 100+ page book as PDF?

Question

Hello,
I'm creating an InDesign Book via javascript, and this book will contain more than 100 single page InDesign Documents. My script to create the book works fine - but takes anywhere from 5-8 minutes to run.
However, when I run my script to open that book and export as a PDF, it takes 10+ minutes just to export the PDF, and then it times out on our InDesign Development server. I'm wondering if I can more efficiently write my script to create the book, as well as my script to export the book as a PDF. Both scripts are very simple:
CreateInDesignBook();
function CreateInDesignBook(){
    var myBook = app.books.add('c:/myBook.indb');
    myBook.bookContents.add('file_1.indd');
    myBook.bookContents.add('file_2.indd');
    // and so on, with potentially 100-200 more .indd files added
    myBook.close(SaveOptions.YES);
ExportInDesignBook();
function ExportInDesignBook(){
    var myBook = app.open('c:/myBook.indb');
    var myFile = new File('myPDF.pdf');
    myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, app.pdfExportPresets.item('[Smallest File Size]'));
    myBook.close(SaveOptions.NO);
Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

Answer 1

As for creating my book, I have found that if I create the single Indesign pages (each contain a page-size PDF) in increments of 50 pages per document (so could have 3 documents of 50 pages each getting added to my book), the books are created MUCH faster (less than a minute). However, exporting that book as a PDF still took roughly 11 minutes.
Does anyone know if there is a faster way to export this? I'm just trying to avoid time-outs on the server. Is there a way I could add pages/documents to an existing PDF (instead of exporting the entire book/document as one PDF)? If that were the case I could just add 50 pages at a time to the PDF and maybe not even need the book anymore?
Ultimately, I just need an efficient way to get all pages into a single PDF.
Thanks in advance for any help!
