Apparently that's only required for the first time that you open a new pdf or epub file. I believe that reader writes some info first, so it takes a bit on initial load. Every subsequent file opening is much faster. For me it can open 350mb file in few seconds and then have no problems turning pages, which is quite impressive, since the same file gives problems even on my computer.
On other hand, it completely failed to open another 350mb file. Interestingly the one that reader opened had no hyperlinks, and the other was full of them.

As for the hangings up during settings changes, I also experienced them. They work with some patience, but too much for me. My guess would be that KOReader is too cpu intensive for 840 when it comes to settings. I just set up extensions.cfg so that KOReder handles pdf's and CoolReader epubs and I'm a happy camper.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Execuse me for asking but I am really new to using this so where exactly is the extensions.cfg file and how to edit it to make the required changes. Also how to download and install CoolReader for firmware 5.4

Thanks again
