That's great. You mentioned that the speed difference does not look huge. That will actually depend from software and situation. You are judging sheer responsiveness on an embedded application - I do not expect that as a secondary focus, for sure, but there are many other situations.
Anyway, what you showed at first file openings, show a transition time of 0.67s for the OBMC2P and of 1.67s for the MaxCarta. That's
2.5 times as fast. So my theoretical tentative calculations stand ; )
EDIT: ok, I realize I counted the animation times in - I counted the whole transition. Without those unduly included constant times, the speed proportion becomes roughly
3x - as expected. I hope I have not committed any other gross ingenuity.
The difference does not look huge because those times can be considered perceptually small already.
EDIT: that is a special case where parallelism in processing is not used: a single core opens the application and renders the first page. Consider, for example, caching the pre-emptive renderings of nearby pages, and when you will (for example) fast-page-flip a book to find some wanted page, the perceived speed proportion should become much more than that 2.5x (or 3x)...
Now, I am not saying that time will be critical, opening relatively small documents, but in other cases...
