Huh, I guess “non-trivial PDF” is so wide a spectrum as to become meaningless, but FWIW I’ve never had any such problems on much lower hardware specs. I am, however, only talking about whole books, long-ish forms, brochures with print-quality images and graphs and that sort of thing. Since PDFs can theoretically contain anything under the sun, are you perhaps talking about more exotic use cases (interactivity, animation, idk)? Or just more excessive file sizes?

I use Firefox by default, but I open PDFs with large organization charts very regularly. I have Edge open for this because Firefox renders everything in these documents far too slowly.
