So a quick test with "years of rice and salt" because I have it handy... loading the 759 page lrf took ~20 seconds, change font size in lrf took 58 seconds, now it's 1020 pages. The epub loaded almost instantly and repaginated in about 2-3 seconds.

So yes, epub is much, much better than lrf. But it still takes 5 seconds to change down one font size with only 3 sizes to choose from. If there were 10 sizes that would be ~25 seconds for the change, and I'd have to sit there paying attention and pressing the button the whole time.
