I think that if you have a PDF with CMYK colors for printing, and you want the 
preview on a screen to match what would be printed, you need a CMS to guide the 
CMYK to RGB conversion.
ghostscript had the same issue when they introduced a CMS, and they added a 
-dUseFastColor option to bypass the CMS (lcms2) in cases where speed is more 
important than correctness.
