Bug#551557: evince: Takes an insane amount of time and CPU to print

[Felipe Sateler]

Package: evince
Version: 2.28.0-2
Severity: normal

When printing some PDF files in 2 pages per sheet, the print takes an
insane amount of time to occur. The first sheet will come out, wait a
few minutes, the second sheet comes out, etc.
There is a gs process doing a lot of work during this time. That process
is run by user lp, so I'm guessing this is not really a bug in evince,
but since okular prints the same pdf without taking so much time and
CPU, there must be a difference between okular and evince printing-wise,
and maybe you can tell where the real bug is (and reassign
appropriately).
