Yes. In fact, just doing page-up / page-down takes 3-4 seconds if the
page contains even the simplest figure (say, eps generated ny gnuplot,
plotting ~25 points). It's really frustrating :(

I confirm that gv is practically unusable since I updated to x.org
7.4. It is very very slow. For the example you give, it takes only 2
seconds to load (same version 3.6.5, Windows XP, Dual Core2 Duo 2.6
GHz) but on the large ps files I use it takes ages to show compared to
before I upgraded. This may be a problem of the X system so I forward
the email to the list.

I cannot confirm this behaviour. .

gv became really slow?

[Dan Tsafrir]

Hi,

It used to be the case that opening a postscript file with gv on
cygwin was more or less immediate. I've recently updated cygwin and
now it takes about 2-5 seconds (a clock is displayed while gv is
"thinking"). This happens even if the postscript file contains only a
few words. For example, if you do:

    % echo hello > hello.txt
    % a2ps hello.txt -o hello.ps
    % gv hello.ps

The gv version I have running is 3.6.5 (cygwin 1.5.25 on XP). I have
no way of telling whether this is a cygwin problem or something else.
But running the above example on a debian machine with a gv-3.6.5
installed results in an immediate, much snappier, response.

Is this just my problem? And if not, can something be done?

Thanks,
    --Dan
