Thank you Albert for looking into this. I have to say I quickly tried to do what you suggested, but didn't succeed. Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into this in such detail. The other information I can provide you with is:
1. Bug tracker in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/1325899 . The rendering issue has been verified by other users. 2. The latest instruction was to submit a bug report upstream (this one) against poppler. 3. This problem does not arise when using xpdf (instead of evince) on my system.

(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.
