Bigger PDF (but not that big) take forever to load and open?

[Greguti (Grégory Gutierez)]

When opening really small PDF files from my Onedrive cloud (like 300 Kb, 1 Mb...) with EVINCE, it opens in a breeze on my system, as expected.

But when I try to open relatively larger PDF files (like, 4 Mb), Evince hangs on a long time, more than a minute, and finally either it opens the PDF, or it craches.

May not be due to the nature of the files (PDF in my case), but related to the file size?

May it be that Evince is caching file(s) smaller than some amount? If so rclone can also be used to cache files by adding --vfs-cache-mode=full to your mount command. Rclone can be configured to only use a limited storage for cache and/or expire cache after set amount of time. I don't think evince can be configured to cache data in ways other than it defautly does.
