I installed papers yesterday and in my case I was not impressed as it 
feels much slower than evince, both at startup and in operation, with 
a sensible lag when opening the headerbar menu.

Maybe it's related to me still using X, not Wayland. (?)

Also, I inadvertently ran papers *.pdf in a directory with a bunch of  
files (but not that much, 28 files, for a total of 13M), and the ouf 
of memory killer had to intervene.

I did not investigate further as I had no time for it and it was just 
simpler to switch back to evince. Looking at it now, with the same 
simple PDF, Papers consume ~4 times the memory Evince consume.

Hopefully it works better for others and performance/memory issues 
will be addressed but maybe the switch could be delayed to the next 
release?
