Bug#648461: evince: Printing certain PDF files really very slow (gs uses 100% cpu, etc.)

[Olivier Berger]

Package: evince
Version: 2.30.3-2
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Certain PDF documents printed with evince take ages to be processed by gs.

It seems that https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/680628 probably applies.

I'm trying to rebuild patched versions of cairo and poppler libs in order to try and verify if this is really the same problem and solutions.

Hope this helps.

P.S.: the launchpad bug gives an example of such a document.
