I can confirm this problem: Starting evince even without loading any document takes up to several minutes. The same is true for any other action like loading a document or closing evince again.
I have attached a valgrind log of evince being started and closed obtained using the following command: G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log /usr/bin/evince I am also running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 on a machine with an Intel integrated graphics chip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) ** Attachment added: "valgrind log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50786344/valgrind.log.gz -- After last updates evince become very slow to open PDF documents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
