In order to paginate a reflowable format like HTML or LRF, what's needed is that the reader software has to essentially render the whole book in one pass and save layout information (basically how many lines fit on a page at the current base font size).
The more complex the markup the longer it takes to do this. Without CSS HTML is actually simpler than LRF, so I'm not surprised that FBReader manages to paginate quickly.
Does the eb1150 software pre-paginate when transferring to the device? SONY's connect software does that and so you wont notice any slowdown if you use it, but if you transfer books directly, using a SD card for example, you see the slowdown.
