Hello, Certain PDFs opened in Evince or Atril using the Poppler backend are extremely slow to render, to the point of being unusable. This is on a very fast Thinkpad laptop with a quad-core processor and an SSD. The same PDFs render instantly using a Windows PDF reader (http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer) (running under Wine!!). This file is only about 2MB, but it takes many seconds to render each page: https://freekidsbooks.org/download/103 On the other hand, some long, complex PDFs with images render quickly with Poppler, like this one: http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/paying-taxes/pdf/pwc-paying-taxes-2015-high-resolution.pdf Thanks for looking into this.
Reference bug #91248
This one may be hitting a particulary slow spot in the cairo renderer since page 3 takes 500 ms to render in Splash and 1800 ms to render in Cairo. Assigning to Cairo since there's probably something to improve here. Times with i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
