This is on poppler 0.16.5.
I think this is not on the cairo backend. the poppler-render test in the cpp frontend (which AFAIK uses Splash backend) also takes around 20 sec on my machine to render one page.
Jose is right, not a Cairo problem, seems that whoever created the document decided to do it wrong and calls a billion times image with a given xobject and we parse it all the time. Introducing a PopplerCache in GfxResources::lookupXObject should fix the problem (if that object can be cached but i'd say yes), i don't have time to do it though.
Do You think this is still a problem with the actual version? In my opinion it seems reasonable fast now...
Jean-François, i'm closing the bug as fixed, please reopen if you still fill the rendering should be faster.
What version is this supposed to be fixed in? FWIW, it still occurs in Evince 3.4 with Poppler 0.18.4.
