compared to poppler : smaller memory footprint, and a *lot* faster on 
embedded. A bit faster on desktop, but not that much. I used both and I 
measured the speed rendering of of pages of both libraries.

According to mupdf devs, mupdf is sometimes faster than poppler, sometimes 
slower. It depends on the operations that are done
