Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04

2) apt-cache policy evince libcairo2 libpoppler[0-9]
evince:
  Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
libcairo2:
  Installed: 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.13.0~20140204-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
libpoppler47:
  Installed: 0.28.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.28.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.28.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen is when one opens https://launchpadlibrarian.net/193465596/HotMobile12-final72.pdf , one may scroll through it quickly with no delay, just like in Adobe Reader.

4) What happens instead is it takes tens of seconds to review each subsequent page. For reference, the same slowdown is happening with Okular (0.20.0).

WORKAROUND: Use Chromium's built-in PDF viewer:
apt-cache policy chromium-browser
chromium-browser:
  Installed: 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064
  Candidate: 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1064
