I haven’t done controlled experiments with opening ebooks with MS Reader, but having read quite a few, I get the sense that the first time a book is opened, before pagination has been completed, the time it takes to open is longer then normal. Subsequent openings, even if the file was been closed, doesn’t take as long. I’ve never experience any more then a minute or two though.
I’ve recently I installed uBook to read public domain .html files without having to convert to a .lit file. I don’t like the Palm or Mobipocket formating, but Ubook isn’t too bad. I have noticed some lag time opening zip files, about the same as a new .lit file.

Oh no, I see worms coming out of an opened can.
