If using PGFPlotsX for multiple figures, make sure you are not generating one figure per pdf but instead put multiple figures into the same pdf. As an example:

x = range(-1; stop = 1, length = 51);
axises = [@pgf Axis(
    {
        xmajorgrids,
        ymajorgrids,
    },
    Plot(
        {
            no_marks,
        },
        Coordinates(x, 1 ./ (x.-i))
    )
)
for i in 1:10];

@time for (i, axis) in enumerate(axises)
    pgfsave("file_$i.pdf", axis)
end
# ~ 5 seconds

td = TikzDocument([TikzPicture(axis) for axis in axises]);
@time pgfsave("file.pdf", td);
# ~0.8 seconds

You can then easily split out the individual plots from the pages of the pdf.
