Hi Alan, the better performance with pdf is probably due to poppler's splash back end (the one inherited from xpdf). It performs loading and scaling (or even arbitrary affine transformations?) of embedded images in one step. In cases where the image is scaled down very much, this probably saves a lot of memory. When loading a .jpg file OTOH, the whole image is loaded into memory (using 4961x7096x4 bytes) , and then scaled down for display (IIRC).
Just my guess as to why pdf might perform better than raw pixbuf. Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Evince-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
