I think it is poppler, because that still happens in evince and some other readers I tried (I just found out it was a bug a couple of days ago, rather than just low res scans). I was going to try okular, but I didn't want to install 150MB or so of kde libs. xpdf seems to work better, but has an ugly ui.

It's the fact that they use SQLite to store so much data.

Tell me about it. For a long time the data quota on the linux computers at my university was 30MB (for undergraduates at least). I kept going over the quota mysteriously, and eventually found that firefox had created a (hidden) 20MB sqlite file to store data for its "block reported attack sites" function. They've since raised the quota to 80MB, I suspect because everyone else was having the same problem and most didn't work out why.
