Frequent paging

Hi,

JB:

I have tried using iotop before, I didn't see anything out of the
ordinary.

I tried out epdfview. Seems workable except for one thing. I am rather
accustomed to not needing to reload the pdf in evince when it changes
on disk. Since I'm working on a constantly changing document, I need
that rather frequently. I think I'll use auto-revert-mode with
docview-mode in emacs for now. If evince is the real source of the
paging problem this should make it apparent in a day or two.
