get_pixmap function takes too long to process

[anirudhagarwal1]

Description of the bug

When trying to create a pixmap for a PDF file, get_pixmap function takes too long even though the page size is well within the required limits.

pdf_in = fitz.open(stream=io.BytesIO(initial_bytes=pdf_bytes), filetype="pdf")
page = pdf_in[0]
pix = page.get_pixmap(alpha=False, dpi=150)

The step get_pixmap takes about 62 seconds to process on my macbook pro. Wanted to understand the reason why this takes so long and how can I bring down this time.

Do you have an idea about usually how much is the TAT for such issues?

[JorjMcKie]

These issues usually are solved rapidly within PyMuPDF as well as MuPDF. Of course there may be stubborn cases ... You will have to wait for a new release anyway though.

I'm glad a fix is in progress, I came here to report this. Interestingly it seems to be a regression - I updated PyMuPDF (from 1.21.1) and immediately noticed that it was much slower.
