Bug Description

The pages that I leave by scrolling on a new page quickly disappear. When I scroll up again it takes too much time to see them appear again. Although the program should be intelligent enough to know that it's just a matter of time that I like to switch to the linked pages.
It also takes too much time for the next page to load scrolling down. It is extremely annoying, causing irritation and breaking the workflow.
If it's a feature to save RAM: the document has a size of 616kb and I guess it would be pathetic to save them when I have 32 gigs of RAM and 8 gigs of VRAM... I think that everything below 10MB can clearly be preloaded when the document get's opened and stay in RAM until one closes the document. Even when the computer is far behind the times.
