Programming tricks might help, but I do think a faster processor would help more.

I mean, my0 epub and kepub books turn just fine.
What's killing me is the high res scanned pdfs that have +10 second per page turn times.

I've got a few vectorized PDFs that also are bad, with complex line drawings that seem to take forever to render.

So, yes, you are right, on the majority of books meant for ereaders, the cpu is fine. But if you get a bigger screen, people are going to want to read more PDFs, and that will need a faster cpu.
