Try this manual instead:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0487/latest/arm-architecture-reference-manual-armv8-for-armv8-a-architecture-profile
Go to the Contents search bar and enter
esr
With okular 4:20.04.0-1 it takes more than 20 seconds on my Skylake
T470p (24GB RAM) until the search bar is responsible again and the 4
entries are found.
With okular 4:17.12.2-2.2 from Buster the same search takes less than
3 seconds.
Does anybody else have similar problems with current okular in Sid?
Thanks!
Frank
