Question

Is MuPdf library faster at rendering images from pdf pages than xpdf/poppler? They say it is high-performance.

Answer 1

From what I have tested mupdf is about 10% to 50% faster than poppler but that depends on pdf file of course. If you need only image rendering then mupdf is the best choice.
