A PDF that uses images with resolutions/colors closer to the native resolution/grayscale of the DR or one that stores the pages as text instead of images should be much faster.

in which case, the whole idea of portability is defeated in all but a technicality. and if i can open them om my numerous other devices, n800, zaurus etc with a lot better performance then there must be something wrong with the dr1000s pdf reader. if it requires the pdf to be optimised for the device, then it is not really very usable.
maybe evince reader should be ported to dr1000s. anyone willing to take that on will get a lot of very grateful people thanking him/her.
