FPDF performance worse on live server than localhost - mysql

Question

I have the following php script below that reads in about 2300 products with images etc from 20 categories using WAMP; the problem is that it take over 3 mins to create a pdf of 213 pages; based on the code is there a way of improving performance. I have already implemented these changes:
In php.ini
Find:
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8M
Change to:
post_max_size = 750M
upload_max_filesize = 750M
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000
memory_limit = 1000M
And add this to C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\my.ini:
max_allowed_packet = 200M
this has stopped the outOfMemory exception I was getting & also when I run it on my VPS cloud server with the same settings it can up to over 10 minutes! any help please?(I know it's a big script file)(there is also a business rule of 12 products per page, 4 rows by 3)
