I have my sleep timer set to 30 seconds, and it indeed "went to sleep" during a page turn with your test pdf! Very strange.
The test pdf took 35 seconds to load (assuming that the viewer wasn't already running) and thereafter random (non-sequential) page jumps took 15-45 seconds. I never experienced any 3 minute delays.
I then optimized the pdf by rasterizing it into another pdf and reduced the dpi, colors etc. to match the DR. This file took 22 seconds to load and 6-12 seconds for a random page jump. One can also "explode" the pdf into a bunch of jpeg images and put this into a folder on the DR - the DR picks up the images in the folder and automatically arranges them as "pages", so your viewing experience is near identical. In this case, the viewer takes 12 seconds to start up and 4-6 seconds to jump to a random page.
I view several super-large pdf files (such as scanned documents from Internet Archives or Google books) and I find that it is best to view them using the last method, although you sacrifice full text search.
