Thank you for your bug report. I'm seeing this issue as well, the first
page takes about 6 seconds to render on my computer, whereas okular
renders the same page in about 1-2 seconds. I therefore think it is an
issue in the poppler cairo backend (which evince uses for rendering) --
I'm not sure whether it is a problem in poppler or in the cairo
libraries, though. I'm assigning it to poppler for now. Could you maybe
test the speed of the rendering in the development release of Ubuntu
(Natty)? Natty ships slightly newer versions of poppler/cairo so maybe
the issue is fixed then. For a nice explanation on how to safely test
Natty see: http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/11/30/testing-natty-and-unity-
safely-with-a-usb-stick/
** Package changed: evince (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu)
