Bug Description

When I try to load (, modify) and save a certain pdf file (like I have done 1000 times before with other files), Inkscape requires a lot of RAM (more than 4G) and finally (after a few minutes) produces a pdf file that is twice as big as the original one. When I try to view the output file (with evince) it also requires a lot of RAM and takes a lot of time. Not so with the original file.

My System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 Bit
Inkscape Version: 0.91 from the stable PPA

How to reproduce: open (import) the attached file test1.pdf with default settings and save it again (to a different file) with default settings.
