Originally reported in the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/700657 The pages 1, 3 and 4 of the PDF at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/700657/+attachment/1789137/+files/Netto2.pdf render very slow, it seems the "JUBILÆMSPRIS" logo is responsible for this (page 2 which does not contain it renders much faster). Okular (which uses the splash backend I think) renders all pages fast, without any noticable difference between the pages. The problem does occur with poppler 0.14.3 (Ubuntu 10.10) and poppler 0.14.5 (Ubuntu 11.04).
Still occurring on Ubuntu 12.04 with evince 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.4 and poppler 0.18.4-1ubuntu3.
Fixed somewhere between cairo 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu3 and cairo 1.12.14.
