Sorry, but I cannot agree -- taking the fastest page turn as the bottom time (i.e. nothing is better) I would be just happy to have DR1000 and I would tell everyone how cool the device is.
But on average DR1000 thinks way longer, and it is obviously not e-ink refresh time.

I am not surprised by that. I am surprises that someone didn't anticipate that fact -- and she/he didn't provide:
a) wait dialog with "cancel" button
b) configurable auto-skip (let's say "if page turn takes more than 5 minutes, give up and show sorry page")
(a) and (b) are pretty common sense countermeasures when you know that run time can hit user badly.
