Has anyone had problems with large PDF files (40 pages or so in length, with many images) loading and paging slowly with 3.5.0?

I've been using my Glo to read sideloaded PDF files of the magazine The Nation. With 3.3.0, the files opened quickly and I was able to page through the magazine without any delays. Now, it takes forever to load the same editions of the magazine and the first few page turns from the cover image take forever. Also, zooming in beyond a certain zoom level results in a black screen.

This has been so frustrating that I've reverted to 3.3.0. That's a shame because the web browser in 3.5.0 behaves far more gracefully than 3.3.0.

Any insights?
