I am a 100% certain you have a corrupted, or a bunch of corrupted PDf's. Either that, or you need to update to the latest ibooks.
I have over 1000+ books, stories, letters, etc... all in pdf format in my ibooks, (I love Calibre!) and unless the pdf is bad I have no lagg or problems in displaying them on my ipad.
Actually the only pdf I ever remember having problems with was a 50 meg image pdf about us maps. I converted the pdf to epub, deleted the original pdf, and reconverted it, and had no further problem.
Also on a personal note, I think the PDF format is the worst format to use for reading books. It is an end format originally intended for one page wysiwyg and there are no standards of font size and formatting, from publisher to publisher, and often from book to book from the same publisher. And when ever you try to convert a pdf to a different format, you always get page numbers, headers, and footers appearing in the middle of the page, and often in the middle of a sentence. (Which is why I have everything in pdf format instead of some in epub format since I like having everything all on one list and I hate bad formatting. And with an ipad if you cant read a book in landscape view, you can read it in portrait view).
/end rant against another adobe created product that fails.
