GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 468584
searching in large PDF document is very slow
Last modified: 2008-05-13 18:39:33 UTC
Please describe the problem: I tried to search in http://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-0689/817-0689.pdf (that's Solaris 9 man pages, section 1, size ~5 MB, 1760 pages) - very slow (and uses 100% CPU for the whole time) Steps to reproduce: - open document, wait until machine is idle - type "/truss", start timer - stop timer when "...% remaining to search" drops to 0% - 520 sec Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: For comparison (on the same machine): - Acrobat reader (7.0.9): searching for "truss" takes 41 sec (measured from hitting Return in the "Find" entry until the progress bar shows all pages have been scanned) - xpdf (3.02): doesn't have an option to search for all occurences, but if I enter "truss" in the Find popup when at the beginning of the document, then click on Find repeatedly for every hit until the end of the document is reached, that's ~60 sec
