            Bug ID: 342258
           Summary: Launch speed limited by bookmarks.xml, not the docdata
                    XMLs
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.20.3
          Platform: unspecified
               URL: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=251&t=124136&p=3
                    26239#p326239
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: aversa at email.arizona.edu

Okular's launch speed is severely limited by "bookmarks.xml" (which is only
about 400 KB on my machine), not by my thousands of docdata files!

My ~400 KB bookmarks.xml slows Okular launch speeds down considerably.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here's some timing information on Okular launches on my Intel core i3 laptop
with a ~400 KB bookmarks.xml file:

real    0m5.148s
user    0m4.702s
sys     0m0.090s

My ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/ folder is even running on a fast RAM disk.


Expected Results:  
Deleting bookmarks.xml speeds up Okular launching considerably:

real    0m1.323s
user    0m0.749s
sys     0m0.066s

Feature request: Why doesn't Okular just store bookmarks in the particular
documents' docdata XML files, that way the entire bookmarks.xml doesn't have to
be scanned every time Okular launches?
