After installing tetex-base, tetex-bin and tetex-extra I am able to open the attached .dvi file. Before installing these packages, evince used to say "DVI document has incorrect format" when I was trying to open *any* .dvi file.
However, I didn't notice any system slow-down while evince tried to generate a thumbnail, a file named "missfont.log" appeared in my home folder instead.
