I used VorpalBlade.lrf from the new Baen cd. The file has about 510kb and paginates on the 700 as follows:

S - readable nicely - 682 pages
M -best for me - 965
L - 1484
XL - 2553
XXL -this one has about 20-25 words per page - 4648

I did 3 tests twice:

1: Start from a 35 book Collection load with touch, go back with prev menu button, each time waiting for the screen to stabilize and repeat. 5 double operation (touch/button) took about 15 seconds. Same if I started from the all books - about 125 - menu, but since a menu page has 10 books it should not matter

So load time including stabilization about 1.5 s

2: Font changing - note that you can jump to any font you want using touch
I started with S and went in order M, L, XL, XXL, back to S three times. It took 20 seconds total, so about 1.33 s per font change

3: Move page forward using button for 30 s. Using touch changes page at the same rate, and I kind of got the hang of it, but button is relevant here.

The first 30 seconds I went from page 77 to page 150 and the next 30 s from page 150 to page 221 all in S font. So about 72 page turns per 30s.

Better than with Dragonfly which gave me about 62 page turns/30s/LRF , but that was a bigger book or was in medium font - something here makes some difference I think.

For the Dragonfly PDF - 672 pages, 1.8 MB - I got about 46 page turns - initially I thought 23 but each pdf page goes on two 700 pages with same number, so actually there are 23x2 - 46 page turns per 30 s.

For the Dragonfly PDF - in horizontal mode, still M font, L does not reflow nicely - I got slightly lower results, about 10 PDF pages so 10x4 - 40 page turns on the 700 in 30s

I will run the sd indexing books soon.
