How people really use the iPhone

Evince chokes up on large PDFs but xpdf does not. I started using xpdf to read PDFs in OLPC, due to necessity. I liked it so much that I'm using it in my dev laptop as well. It is faster too.

Odd, I've been using Evince all today to read a 772 page PDF of 'Solaris 10: The Complete Reference' (yes, I read textbooks, yes I'm also aware of how piss poor Solaris is).

It handles the document fine, including generating thumbnails for all the pages on the fly as I scroll down.

I think the difference is significant when you are RAM poor. It made a huge difference for me on OLPC. May be you have lots of RAM?

Evince has 19.5MB resident when loading the document, which seems reasonable for an average desktop, but I don't know how much RAM OLPC has.

No bad at all! OLPC RAM = 256 MB.
