Preview definitely seems slower in Mac OS X 10.11, now takes a few seconds for the progressive text rendering to sharpen.
@mjtsai And Preview still uses subpixel anti-aliasing even if that's turned off system-wide. :(

@mjtsai Damn, I didn't notice that. -
@morrick Since 10.8, I think. -
@mjtsai That pretty much sums up how often I use Preview :-) -
@morrick What do you use for PDFs then? -
@mjtsai Skim, mainly. http://skim-app.sourceforge.net -
@morrick Not sure about the speed, but the subpixel antialiasing applies to Skim and all the other PDFKit-using apps that I've seen. - View other replies

@mjtsai After a few informal tests, Skim appears to be slightly faster at handling big PDFs than Preview, and quicker in text rendering.
