Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-3
Severity: normal
The following PDF, when opened in kpdf, makes kpdf take whatever
processing power is available, up to 100% of the two processors time,
for about two minutes, before displaying the five pages in the
thumbnails. It takes almost one minute before displaying even the first
pages, which made me think that the PDF was empty (or at least that KPDF
was not able to render its content) at first sight.
Opening it with KGhostView takes about 10 seconds to display the five pages in the thumbnails.
The file is here:
http://www.biomedica2009.com/files/biomedica_2008_program.pdf .
Besides of the performance problem, when KPDF is working to read the PDF,
it would be nice that it indicates to the user that it is doing something,
so that the user knows that he has to wait...
