Those changes redefine what each page will look like and how many pages there will be, in each chapter and in the whole book. They take some time but only need to be done the one time (unless you change your mind). In fact the time taken for those types of page definitions should make the page turning faster. When we are talking tens of thousands of pages, as opposed to the usual novel of less than 500 pages, a noticeable difference is to be expected.
The actual rendering of the next page should not be anything more than swapping page buffers. The next page image should have been built into a buffer by the time I've read the first couple of words on the current page.
There has been some changes in the code to render a page lately, I wonder if one of them might have slowed things down a bit?
