@karet I've found zathura+mupdf is very quick and snappy. Poppler (the PDF library most things use, and Zathura can use it too) is ungodly slow. page (from plan9port) is also quite fast (it uses its own PDF code) but I'm not sure what level of compatibility it has.

@karet Zathura is meant to be very minimal, I don't even know if it has plugins (other than for loading other file formats, like epub). If you're wanting something more GUIey, Firefox (and thus Librewolf) has PDF.js support by default, and I've found that to be performant as well.
