I'm not nervous, I'm just surprised of your remarks, I'm wondering how can you
say 'slightly' when it's pretty noticeable in my computer, that is at least
three times faster than yours.
I've been using linux since 1993, so you can be sure that I've tried xpdf with
all kind of machines and the slowness has always been present, it doesn't
matter which version of xpdf I use.

I don't really care about that.

It's less than 2 seconds on my computer.

I agree here.

I agree but, as I use KDE, I don't have this problem (I've forced acrobat
windows to open in a specific window size).

See my comment above.

You forgot to mention that the rendering of the page is much better in acrobat
than in xpdf, the pages look nicer.
For me Acrobat is the best pdf reader to date; I haven't tried the new kpdf
yet (included with kde 3.4).
