Created attachment 110276 [details] Small file with several pages to flick through Evince is extremely slow on some files, especially if it contains images or graphs. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (libpoppler 0.24.5-2ubuntu, but it also affects Ubuntu 14.10 with libpoppler0.26.5). In earlier versions, the test pdf attached would render each page almost instantaneously, it now takes several seconds per page. Even Firefox (with the built-in PDF renderer, HTML5) can render this much more quickly. In order to test this, it is not enough to look at a single page, but you need to quickly flick through several pages. Note that the file itself is pretty light. I'm using Sandybridge integarted graphics, i5-2450M.
I don't see any page being slow when using glib/demo/poppler-glib-demo nor qt4/tests/test-poppler-qt4 It would be useul if you could compile poppler from source use these apps and tell us which page you find to be slow.
Thank you Albert for looking into this. I have to say I quickly tried to do what you suggested, but didn't succeed. Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into this in such detail. The other information I can provide you with is: 1. Bug tracker in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/1325899 . The rendering issue has been verified by other users. 2. The latest instruction was to submit a bug report upstream (this one) against poppler. 3. This problem does not arise when using xpdf (instead of evince) on my system. Cheers
I'm getting fast render times in Evince for this document with 34 pages of graphs. I think it was fixed by poppler bug 33364. Please try to use poppler 0.28 or later. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 33364 ***
