I agree, I rarely read PDFs on any ereader. I do have certain maps, trails, etc. that I could use in a pinch, but if I need to actually read a PDF, I use my PC, netbook or even a tablet is better.

But the fact still remains that PDF viewing shouldn't be that bad on an ereader, and in Kobo's case, it's progressively gotten worse (slower) than in previous firmwares. Even though I'm not really affected, I don't particularly find that acceptable if they claim you can read PDFs at all on their readers.
