I have found a file with a similar problem:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/aglets/manual.pdf?download

In commom, both of them make heavy use of Type 3 fonts.

Acrobat-7 does not do a very good job either, but is faster (by far) than evince.

Tested in an amd64 (dual core, 3800+, 1G memory), running gentoo, with Cairo and
Glitz. and in another amd64 (single core, 3000+, 512 M memory), running Ubuntu
5.04 (Hoary) (evince 0.1.9-0ubuntu1).

In evince 0.1.9, this file is "less slow" (but still CPU intensive), than in
evince 0.4

Changed the summary to include (type 3 fonts)

Added myself to CC (sorry)

another bugzilla with an example:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15693

This was fixed about 3 years ago by the cairo user font patches.
