Same here. This has been a recurring issue for 4/5 years at
least. Having two full pages side by side in the same window, and
scrolling one page at a time in this way, like FrameMaker does, make
reviewing or even reading long documents MUCH faster than, say, an
increase in the speed of the CPU or the program itself. And this:

has nothing to do with it, because it is just a static illusion of
dual page view. This is the thing to do when you need to compare two
distant pages of the same file, or two _different_ files, which is a
different use case than what I said above.
Dual page view is beneficial when it is dynamic, that is you have page
4 on the left, page 5 on the right, press the PageDown key once and
page 5 goes on the left, page 6 appears on the right. If you have to
do it yourself in two windows every time it becomes slow enough to not
be worth it.
