Funny.. when I published the MyOSS mag (a OSS Based magazine ->
http://mag.my-opensource.org) I have some problems/issues with the
generated PDFs as well.

1. XPDF will render it nice and fast
2. Acroread 7 on linux takes a noticeable more time to load the pages
(pgup/pgdn)
3. Acroread 5 on Windows has no issues. Pgup/pgdn is Fast
4. I've had one reader told me that it took close to 3 hours to print
out 32 pages of the magazine.

I'm running 1.2.1
