I confirm that the PDF provided by OP is extremely slow. Scrolling is very sluggish, and it takes several seconds to render a page.
Actually, I came to this bug page to say that Evince is sluggish on many documents. Scrolling with mouse is uncomfortable even in the thumbnails area.

(And it is even worse with the 2009 version of the book you can still find on several places on the internet), while xpdf has no problems at all with instantly switching to the next page.
