I think I've nailed it. At least it is much faster than initially.
I've just published to B&N a KJV Bible with Apocrypha and Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (see my website for links). You can't call either one a small book; however, they work pretty fast.

The key is to have clean formatting, as Jack was saying, and break up the text into small enough chunks inside the epub (I keep each one a chapter size). So, when you open a chapter, you don't have to load the 66 (or with Apocrypha 81) books of the Bible.

I have Jesus' words in red. It shows great on Nook Color but I don't know how it would look on the classic Nook.
