Hi Chad
I definitely think you are on the right track.
Renditions are more-or-less a different FileType of a Document. For example, you can have an Image File Format Rendition, PDF Rendition, Text File Format Rendition, etc.
Revision are different edits to the same Rendition of a Document. I would not necessarily use the term 'Versions" because that can be used in a completely different context in OnBase in regards to a Document. An example of Revisions would be if there is an Image File Format Document. The Original Document is a Revision; if you were to add a redaction or additional pages to the document, this will create a new Revision.
The tricky part of your question is in regards to the different DataProviders. The DefaultDataProvider will take the Default FileType and export the Document as that Type. I would be interested in what the Default FileType for that DocumentType is. This may be attempting to make a conversion on the TIFF Document that is not supported. Could you provide some additional information on this situation? Do you have any issues with the ImageDataProvider or PDFDataProvider?

If the Default FileType is PDF, it makes sense that the conversion is almost instantaneous for PDF Documents, as the file would not go through any conversion since it already has a PDF extension.
In OnBase14, control of the size of the file and quality of the file were given to the developer through the ImageGetDocumentProperties and PDFGetDocumentProperties with options such as the ImageContentType Enum and CompressionQuality Property respectively. These properties would help minimize the size of the Document that is being converted or written to disk. More information and details on these options are available within the OnBase SDK.
As far as the time to convert a TIF to a PDF, it should not be taking 100+ seconds to complete this conversion. Diagnosing this issue is by far outside the scope of this forum, so I would suggest contacting your first line of support. Some things to provide them would be the size and type of the initial Document, how the Document was imported into OnBase, as well as the code performing the conversion.
