Jit,

OK, so Evince has a very poor performance rendering this page.I thought that In your original message  you said that Evince crashes with this file . It seems the 

cairo backend is extremely slow for this particular file. I've opened a poopler bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38927

Thanks again for your interest in improving Evince !!!


Cheers,

PS: I wasn't able to reproduce any better performance in the Windows version
