That is generally right but I have seen PDF documents which needs several seconds for one page on a high speed PC.
The problem with the higher resolution is as far as I can see that there is no relevant hardware acceleration for the 'graphics card'. So the CPU needs to do that, too.
That means higher resolutions equals to slower page rendering.
