Hey José,
Thanks for the quick response. I see what you mean, with regard to
Annotations, it seems to still have trouble with rendering them. Guess,
I'll have to check up on Poppler.
Thanks again

Of course, any work to make poppler render faster would be more than
welcome, and would benefit a lot of Linux users (poppler being used in
Evince and Okular)

HI,
as I understand, muPdf has fewer features than poppler. For
instance, I don't know if mupdf supports annotations. If you wish
to have a Gtk+ Reader based on muPdf, I think your best options
are to develop one from scratch. I doubt that such a backend would
be accepted.
Greetings
José

I was wondering, about adding a MuPDF backend for Evince.
Since, from what I notice, it's performance in rendering the
PDF's is much faster as seen by:

As, can be noted in SumatraPDF <http://sumatrapdfreader.org/>,
which I have used fairly frequently on Windows, it works
pretty well.
I'm willing to help out or actually consider coding this from
scratch, though, I have never touched the Evince codebase
before, but am willing to try.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Much Thanks
