This WASM "demo" is literally the only viewer on Windows I've found that can handle documents like the Baldur's Gate 3 Artbook (around 300MB of high-res artworks in PDF format). Native and browser-based viewers all choke even on a decent system with lots of memory.

Even the MuPDF native app fails?
If that is indeed the case, we'd appreciate a bug report over at https://bugs.ghostscript.com It is hard to fix issues we don't know about. :)

I’m curious, have you tried SumatraPDF (uses muPDF under the hood)?
Even okular?
That should literally be impossibly surpising
Checked Sumatrapdf on Windows and it's better - while on some fast mouse wheel scrolling the web version is more responsive, but then it doesn't adjust text quality, so shows blurry version (though zooming seems to fix it) while the local versionalways shows high quality text (sometimes after a delay)
Pageup/down scroll is without a delay locally but it scrolls through blank pages, so I guess mouse scroll just always does quality rendering, thus it's the only operation that's slower locally
So while pages load faster in the web version, they are of much worse quality initially
