okular is very slow to render pdf files
I open the issue on kde bugsystem for okular but I have been told to open an issue here on poppler. I must emphasize that the problem does not exist with evince (poppler based) or muPDF sor for now I am using evince or mupdf as workaround.
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- open a 'large' pdf with images (it is easier to see it) like that one:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qcxcbyyppg8p2ui/DRAGONS-GuideDuJoueur.pdf?dl=0
- Read the document
OBSERVED RESULT
It is extremely slow to draw a page. It took seconds to do it and it is increasing little by little and the CPU usage is going through the rough. I remove every option I can to improve the performance but nothing change. I tried with evince and the problem is not there.
EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth reading of pdf file.
