The point I am making is that there are multiple values for "E-ink delay". A full screen refresh takes something like 3-4 times longer than a partial screen refresh. The eInk refresh time is generally the largest component of the overall page turning time.

Yes, or saying more exactly -- it took more than half an hour. How much I don't know (to be fair, for 2.8GHz Core2Duo computer the page turn of such pdfs is not an easy task as well, however the problem is computer is responsive while page turning, while DR1000 is not, and what worse there is no cancel button).
It sounds like there is something about your document that caused the viewer to either crash or hang. If I had to take a guess it would be something to do with running out of memory trying to process that particular page. If that document is stressing a 2.8GHz PC, then it's not much of a surprise that it's causing a problem on a much smaller device.

Actually, yes it would.
