Sorry for taking so long to get back to this bug. Thanks for setting the status to "Confirmed" in my absence. The PDF file attached to comment #2 renders slowly when flipping rapidly between pages on my newish system (a different system to the one I mentioned in comment #1). This is on Trusty 14.04 with the update to libpoppler44 0.24.5-2ubuntu4.1.
I have changed the package to poppler. Does this still occur on Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" which contains poppler 0.26.5-0ubuntu1? ** Package changed: evince (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325899 Title: evince is excruciatingly slow on some documents Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Evince is excruciatingly slow when displaying the book available for download at http://www.safetty.net/publications/pttes Scrolling can take several seconds and will often just display empty pages. (And it is even worse with the 2009 version of the book you can still find on several places on the internet), while xpdf has no problems at all with instantly switching to the next page.
