Hello, I've just tried to view the PDF at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg36.pdf (1.5MB) with xpdf. It works fine until page 12, when the system slows to a crawl. top tells me that XFree is using 75-80% CPU and xpdf is using most of the rest. I left it running for a couple of minutes before killing it.
gv shows the page fine (though it doesn't get page 1 right). I would have thought that my system (133MHz, 72MB) would be good enough to read a pdf, but ICBW. Does anyone with a higher-spec machine, and a few minutes to spare, want to take a look at the file and see if they have the same problem?
