I have never used firefox to display pdf files. I just tried it and
find that it has an interesting feature of caching rendered pages.
Pages with complicated graphics (think MetaPost with hundreds of
thousands of objects) get rendered pretty quickly, although one can see
the very many objects being drawn the first time the page is displayed.
Subsequently displays of these pages have no lag whatsoever.
