Hi,
I am not the original poster, but I am affected by this bug too. I
opened the file suggested by Florian, and evince as able to render it
absolutely perfectly, and with no lag (I was also able to scroll with no
problem).
However, some files are still extremely slow to be rendered. I have
attached an example. If you flip from page to page it might be OK, but
if you start flipping quickly, it's extremely slow (I sometimes have to
wait for 3+ seconds for a single page to be rendered). Please note that
even Firefox (with its built-in PDF viewer) renders it in no time.
So let me answer your questions for my system instead:
- what version of Ubuntu you are using
14.04 64-bit, fully updated as of this post
- the output of uname -srm
Linux 3.13.0-29-generic x86_64
- what version of evince you are using
3.10.3
- what version of poppler you are using
0.24.5-2ubuntu4
- what version of libcairo2 you are using
1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
- the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo
(see next attachment)
- how much RAM is in your system
6GB, 4 of which are currently free
Thanks alot for looking into this.

Title:
evince is excruciatingly slow on some documents
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Evince is excruciatingly slow when displaying the book available for download
at http://www.safetty.net/publications/pttes
Scrolling can take several seconds and will often just display empty pages.
(And it is even worse with the 2009 version of the book you can still find on
several places on the internet), while xpdf has no problems at all with
instantly switching to the next page.
