Bug#441078: evince: extremely slow display of PDF document compared to xpdf

[Eric Cooper]

Package: evince
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal

evince is extremely slow (more than a minute on my desktop) displaying
this file:
  http://www.earlham.edu/admissions/documents/pdf/PlanningaVisit%2007.pdf
(The 0.9 version in experimental has the same problem.)

xpdf displays it in a few seconds.
