And now loading each subsequent pdf is near instantaneous (or at least it seems to be the speed at what it used to be). However, it doesn't seem to survive a reboot (which makes sense, if it's a RAM thing). After rebooting, it again takes just a bit over two minutes for that first pdf to load. Once done, loading pdfs is fast again (it doesn't matter what the file size of that first pdf is). I assume that's because at that point, the pdf renderer is loaded into memory. I'd probably have to do the same thing again if it ever got paged out.

So not sure what I can do there to fix or improve that load time. I might just leave the disable sickel mod installed though, and try to keep it in mind when debugging things in the future.
Ok, I just restarted and opened one of the more complicated PDFs. It took about 30-40 seconds. When I reopen it or most other PDFs, it is only taking a few seconds. But, some of them are still taking 30 seconds or so.

All this suggests there is a process being initialised for PDFs. Why it is taking so long for you is the question. It's probably something to do with the big SD card or the size of the database.
