Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening a 4 GB or larger PDF in Xreader, closing it, and timing the next startup. Investigate what startup state, history, or cache is retained after closing the reader; done means large-file use no longer causes the reported delayed restart or the retained state can be cleared.

Description

BUG 
 * Xreader version 2.8.1
 * Distribution Archlinux (kernel version 5.9.13-arch1-1)

Issue
After opening a large file (e.g. 4 GB or bigger) and closing xreader, xreader will take much more time to start from then.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a large .pdf file using xreader
  2. Close xreader
  3. Simply start xreader. Now xreader will take seconds to startup.

Expected behaviour
Maybe this issue relates to cache or such kind of things? I think that xreader may provide an icon to clear history so that this issue could be avoided.
