I've tested the PDF included by Christopher and I observe the exact same behavior as with some of my other PDF documents.
I think the fix should be also rolled out for the last LTS version 14.04 Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369028 Title: Slow thumbnail generation and scrolling Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After a GTK update this morning (2014-09-13, via update manager on 14.04. LTS), the thumbnail generation on evince 3.10.3 became very slow. Whenever loading the next thumbnail image, evince completely hangs. This makes reading documents very annoying. This seems to be related to these bug-reports: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691448 (!) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047566 The document opens fine in other viewers (like xpdf) When the thumbnails side pane is disabled, the problem goes away.
