[bug #63280] gv is taking much time to render a pdf that pdf viewer in linux render almost instantly

[William Bader]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #63280 (project gv):

If gs took 0m53.922s (nearly a minute), the problem is gs, not gv.

> I think the problem is about font paths.

I agree. The file displays instantly for me with several versions of gs.

Try running `gs -h` and looking at the `Search path:` list near the end.
Also try running `printenv | grep GS_` to see if you have set GS_OPTIONS,
GS_FONTPATH, or GS_LIB

The search path might have a directory with a huge number of files or a
directory that is a slow network mount.

If you want to see everything that gs is trying to open, you can use `strace`,
for example, `strace -e openat gs sample@file.pdf`

> Yes it is ok to share it.

Thanks. I think that it shows an issue with gs 10.
