So this PDF could be considered a somewhat larger one, containing many pictures and weighing in at a total of 15 MB. Foxit handles the same document in a breeze. They just make the document look worse, not render faster. Not even disabling the various smoothing and filtering options have a real effect. I'm on a bloody quad-core i7 processor and 32 gigabytes of RAM, so why is it not possible to scroll fluently through a PDF? Give the mouse scroll wheel a good spin, and it will take Adobe Reader ages to slowly step through the document. Or try to, thanks to the infuriatingly and inexplicably slow scrolling.
