Certain pdf documents take very long before they are displayed
in okular. For example the attached file take over 6 seconds.

Comment 3 Thomas Freitag 2014-04-28 08:07:07 UTC
The referenced document has 1385 pages. Rendering of 1 page in default resolution takes on my laptop:

time ./utils/pdftoppm -png -cropbox -f 1 -l 1 78006.open/c++14-std.pdf output/78006

real	0m0.227s
user	0m0.204s
sys	0m0.008s

Rendering of 10 pages:

time ./utils/pdftoppm -png -cropbox -f 1 -l 10 78006.open/c++14-std.pdf output/78006

real	0m3.366s
user	0m3.340s
sys	0m0.008s

I think I'm getting too old if someone argues that it "takes ages to open". But even if, it's definitely not a poppler problem but a problem of the application which opens it!

OK thanks. I will open a okular bug.
