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

 

Hi,

madbiologist:
 - Do you mind telling us if anything else is necessary, or if we have to file this bug against a different package?

I have to look at dozens of PDFs every day, and this bug slows me down a
lot (and overheats my system for no reason).

Kabanov:
 - I don't have the same problem as you with the PDF mentioned by the OP. What CPU/graphics do you have? I have Intel sandybridge mobile graphics/CPU. Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
 - Do you find the PDF I uploaded before is slow for you? Not when you look at a single page, but if you try to flip through pages quickly. In 12.04 there was no lag whatsoever. Now it can take a few seconds per page, which is a lot when yoou have to look at dozens of pages...

Title:
  evince is excruciatingly slow on some documents

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
