Please describe the problem:
Evince becomes very slow and doesn't load this PDF correctly which has a ton of graphics.  If you go down a few pages after it finally does load a few pages, you come to more loading screens.  It just never finishes loading more than 2 or 3 pages at a time, and even that slowly.

Adobe Reader on Linux and WIndows reads it instantly though.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached
2. Try to click on random thumbnails
3. or just scroll around or on the bookmarks


Actual results:
very, very slow rendering

Expected results:
as fast as adobe

Does this happen every time?
yes

can you upload the pdf to some webspace and post the URL here or give the URL of its original source?
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-10-19 18:34:39 UTC 
it is uploaded already, it is. :-)
Comment 4 Christian Kirbach 2006-10-20 07:34:24 UTC 
pages 8 and 9 render really slow for me, the rest seems to be fine.

 this looks like a bug with the PDF backend.  Could you please follow these instructions to help get this 
 bug fixed.  Thank You. http://live.gnome.org/Evince/PopplerBugs#poppler
