I find search performance unsatisfactory too, especially compared with KPDF. Take this rather large document for example: http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdfs/PLRM.pdf . On KPDF, the first search (in the "thumbnails" pane) takes around 10 seconds on my machine, successive searches are nearly instantaneous. In Okular however, every search takes around 24 seconds, no matter whether it's the first one or not.

The memory usage policy in both programs is "aggressive". Actual memory usage after 5 searches in the above document is 171MB for KPDF and 65MB for Okular; I'm thinking that Okular is just being to modest here; if I tell it that it's ok to gobble up memory in order to provide faster responses, then it should just go ahead and do that.

In other words: I'd really like to get KPDF's instant searches back.
