Slow display of embedded EPS with gv
I tried to reproduce this with the EPS file an gv alone. That did not work, i.e. it opens without delay. Unfortunately this now becomes groff dependent. But anyway it's also OpenBSD specific. I tried with http://www.openbsd.org/images/poster31.jpg: jpegtopnm poster31.jpg > poster31.pnm pnmtops poster31.pnm > poster31.ps gv poster31.ps # -> opens at once File t.tr: .PSPIC poster31.ps troff -Tps t.tr|grops >t.ps gv t.ps # -> opens at once troff -Tps -dpaper=a4 t.tr|grops -pa4 >t.ps gv t.ps # -> opens very slow (15 seconds) Embedded in a real document it took about 40 seconds for a picture of that size. As mentioned in the previous mail there is no delay on e.g. Linux. --Carsten
Slow display of embedded EPS with gv
Hello, when I include a large EPS file into a PostScript file using the colorimage command (actually done bei groff macro .PSPIC) and view this PS file with the gv viewer it takes very long until the image is displayed. For example it takes 40 seconds until a 2 MB image is displayed on a rather fast DELL E6540. On a years old Linux PC there is no noticeable delay. With many images in a document gv is unuseable. (So I convert the PS to PDF, then it's ok.) What may be the reason? --Carsten
