[poppler] poppler 0.29 pdftoppm much slower than poppler 0.20 ?

[Anthony Wesley]

I downloaded and compiled poppler-0.28.0, and the pdftoppm speed is fine in that version, the same as in the old version I've been using - 0.20.5.

It seems that some change between 0.28.0 and 0.29.0 is causing a 6x slowdown in pdftoppm, at least in the test cases I'm using...

regards, Anthony
