Bug#277868: kghostview: too slow loading, zooming, or changing pages on PDF docs (in comparison with other PDF readers)
Package: kghostview
Version: 4:3.3.0-2
Severity: minor
Even with (almost) zero system load (i.e., kghostview is the only
application running in my GNOME desktop), I notice that when opening a
PDF document, when switching between pages or when zooming, kghostview
is considerably slower (I get always the "loading" mouse pointer for
about 5/7 seconds, for example here:
http://www.ida.liu.se/~TDTS41/tdts41-03-application_layer_protocols.pdf
) than the other PDF readers such as gpdf or xpdf.
