I have seen such delays, and they're not actually a bug; AdobeViewer prerenders the next page while you read a page, so that the flip time should be not much more than the redraw time. Jumping to an uncached page will necessarily cause the rendering delay before the page shows instead. This is the primary reason why AdobeViewer is faster than pdfviewer on my pocketbook (leaving aside that they render a little differently). The rendering time grows with complex or heavy pages, which has very little to do with document file size (which the device sometimes warns about).
It's possible these times are higher in the betas because of things like compiling unoptimized with debugging in mind, but I'll note
my initial tests showed rendering times easily in that range for Underground.
Edit: I must apologize, my sloppy reading led to me missing that this was about EPUB. Those have much simpler rendering, and should not have the grade of rendering time I've seen. On the other hand, the new firmware has an fbreader that is
much better at rendering epub formatting and supports the better note system, so I don't reckon this is a reason to hold off.
