Well, I almost forgot this report opened by me.

Albert, I'm fine with the technical explanation and the rationale behind it. I
just think it is not quite appropriate to be selected as the default mode. That
is mainly about user expectation.

There are some applications that are well known for huge memory occupation:
FireFox, VirtualBox, etc. Maybe I would also add acroread from Adobe. I would
not be surprised if they make my system slow and would be careful about free
memory when starting/using them.  But I just have never expected okular to be
one of them. I guess other users might hold similar expectation and would be
annoyed when they are hitten by this default mode.  They would then think
okular is working in a buggy way and open bug report for it. Or worse, they
would think okular is just "so crazy" and stop using it.

So my suggestion is change the existing description so that users understand
its impact better, and/or use "low" as the default mode.
