Ubuntu
evince package

evince appears to be single-threaded

Asked by David J. Brown

I have just been looking at a document scanned (at high resolution) by the Archive.

Whilst evince is attempting to produce thumbnails, and I try to flip through pages, I observe (using the linux system monitor) that a single (of my eight) CPUs is pegged, while the other seven are lolly-gagging about.

This makes me ask: "Hey, is evince properly enabled to exploit the usual du-jour?"

I fear that it may not be.

Will you kindly give me your guidance about all that.

Persons might wish to be of use in these matters.

I believe this is a valid bug report. I linked to a GNOME bug for the issue.

Thanks Jeremy,
    So much of the modern computing fabric is nippy enough, that we may not see these things.
When I had the enormous pregnant pause in its delivery of thumbnails and pages therefore (on my
fire-breathing 8-way server box,) I went looking.

Smoking gun!

Let me know if I can help at all, will you?
