Kind of answered my own question by reviewing the RandomAccessFileOrArray class. On our Solaris 9 system the reads change from 1 byte at a time to a 2048 byte buffer if I pass the filename as file:/opt/xx.pdf instead of /opt/xx.pdf
This cuts the runtime for large documents (300-800 pages) almost in half for us.
