[Bug 1325899] Re: evince is excruciatingly slow on some documents

 

This appears to have been regressed somewhere. 15.04 with libpoppler
0.30 - a PDF that used to render instantly (and renders instantly using
muPDF) now takes on average 10-15s to render a single page using Evince
or Atril, or longer if focus is missing.

As the behaviour is the same in both Evince and Atril, my assumption is
that the issue is in poppler somewhere - PDF renderers that do not use
poppler are ultrafast, those that use it are ultra slow.

Title:
  evince is excruciatingly slow on some documents

Status in Poppler:
  Invalid
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Evince is excruciatingly slow when displaying the book available for download at http://www.safetty.net/publications/pttes
  Scrolling can take several seconds and will often just display empty pages. (And it is even worse with the 2009 version of the book you can still find on several places on the internet), while xpdf has no problems at all with instantly switching to the next page.
