I'm sorry but your answer about default behaviour sounds not professional, or
may be you don't realize the whole situation. 

My test machine use Arch and kde 4.8. I have a 4GB RAM.

Let's go to the "Okular Settings" to "Performance" tab. 
We see "Memory Usege" set to "Normal (default)", and later we have a
discription: 
"A good compromise between memory usege and speed gain. Preload next page and
boost searches. (For systems with 256MB of memory, typically.)"

And after scrolling book with 400 pages I heve memory consumption of 1380Mb. 
1380 >> 256 =) Ok. I understand that nobody changes this "help text" since KDE3
or somehow...

BUT the real thing is that opening few documents, lets say 3 or ethen 3
instance of the same book and scrolling till the end will end up with more than
4GB in Total. Not smart at all. 
But of couse ist fast. Very fast. It keep whole book, page by page in
memory=)))
