I explained the reasons for the change. 

ad.a) I don't understand this assumption, if you zoom out/in page the page
"changes" while in fact it does not change

ad.b) sure, visual indicator matters -- however it leads to flickering, because
on fast computer it makes more harm than good, take a look at KDE, by default
you have visual indicators, but you can turn them off

ad.c) white page is an option at all -- it hurt eyes

Pino, it it not about okular logo (1% of the issue), it is about this extra
white page (99%).

So, suggestions:
1) remove white pages at all.
2) provide visual feedback (okular logo) by default with ability to turn it off
3.1) in (a) really holds -- use mouse cursor, it is standard way to show "busy,
computations"
3.2) if (a) is not that serious (in my opinion is not) I see a lot of
splashscreens, logos, etc. and I never thought it had any impact on the data,
show just okular logo at the current page, then switch to target page
3.3) since bottombar is set on by default it could be a place (even with
progress bar) to show logo as activity indicator
