I think it's not the PDF filesize per se that is the issue, but rather the -contents-.

It seems the one you just tried for David is one of the rare ones that are very large, but still mostly consist of text.

Most of the large ones I've come across (newspapers, magazines, illustrated manuals etc.) are large mostly due to the included graphics (bitmap or vector) These need to rendered out before being displayed, using a sizable amount of -memory- (whether it's one large one or several small ones that need to be displayed on the same page) and of course corresponding -CPU usage-.

(I've had the reader run out of memory zooming in to a single very large image...)
