I attached PDF file which opens too long in okular. It opens much faster in xpdf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and open file
File is located here: http://www.umwd.dolnyslask.pl/uploads/media/Zalacznik_graficzny_do_PT.pdf
Which version of poppler do you have? which version of xpdf?
poppler-utils version 0.24.5-2ubuntu4 poppler-data version 0.4.6-4 I checked this file on various pdf browsers, results: Sumatra PDF 2.5.2 (Windows 7) - 30 seconds Adobe Reader 11.0.0 (Windows 7) - 12 seconds xpdf 3.03 (Kubuntu 14.04) - 11 seconds okular 0.19.3 (Kubuntu 14.04) - 16 seconds Test machine: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE (4 x 3,4 GHz) GeForce GTX 550 Ti (latest proprietary drivers installed) 4 GB DDR3 ram Kubuntu 14.04 LTS/Windows 7 SP1 (both 64-bit) Kernel: Linux 3.16.1
I can't reproduce such a big difference, in any case it'd be because of poppler the pdf rendering library we use, so please report the bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and see if anyone there would be able to fix such bug. Thanks for caring about Okular
