Loading the mupdf.js bundle is slow right now. When I checked it out it was super fast. Guess it's a server/ratelimit/caching issue with the HN hug being top of front page.
Which is what I guess you mean about 10x slower -- so you're making an unfair comparison as you're counting the network at peak, whereas browser plugins load from disk or memory.
But I actually thought the load of the PDF (once the app was loaded) was, for MuPDF.js, slightly faster than the browser plugin. When I watched it, tho I have not benched it. Do you have any benchmarks?
