New hardcore #PDF rendering performance benchmark for #Poppler:
"Jesus Christ it's a #Lyon (map), get in the car!" 
That map takes 26 seconds to render with Poppler on #Linux, but only 6 seconds with PDFjs, or 15 seconds with XPDF: gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler…
I've profiled the issue on the various Poppler rendering backends, and there are some hypotheses about the slowness. If anyone can help fix this, that would be fantastic.

Very slow rendering of the Lyon public transit map with lots of vector shapes (#1555) · Issues · poppler / poppler · GitLab
Hi! I have encountered a single-page PDF file that takes a very long time (over 25 seconds on my old desktop workstation) to render with any Poppler-based PDF...GitLab

in reply to Jeff Fortin T. • • •first let's put this out of the way: is Popple build with Boost? The Splash backend has a major performance hit if it is not build with boost, and some packagers still think they know better disabling boost.
(I see the Splash backend in the flamegraph)
