[Gsview] gv extremely slow on RH 7.3

[Aleksandar Donev]

Hello,

After upgrading a Linux box from RH 7.2 to RH 7.3, ghostview suddenly 
became extremely slow in rendering over an X connection, as someone else 
has previously complained on the valhalla list:

https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/valhalla-list/2002-July/010298.html

I did not see an answer to this question. I tried both upgrading to the 
RH 7.3 upgrade  ghostscript-6.52-9.4.i386.rpm and also to go back to the 
older RH 7.2 version, but it did not help.

Note that kghostview or ggv do not share this problem, so it is 
something with ghostview. Also plain ghostscript renders fast as well. 
The same thing happened on two machines, with different graphics 
architectures, so it is probably not hardware either.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Aleksandar
