    Yes, that's normal.  Be happy that it caches the page files so that it
    will open immediately when you want to view this document again.

For C-g not to work is a a real problem.  Why does that happen?  Did
you bind inhibit-quit to t?  If so, I think it is a bug in your code.
If not, I think it is a bug in Emacs.

Does it run the subprocess asynchronously?  If not, maybe it should.
